Former Cabinet Minister Makes Police Statement Over Alleged Molest Report

KUALA LUMPUR, April 25 (Bernama)

A former cabinet minister, at the centre of an alleged molest case, Friday gave a statement to the police to facilitate investigations.

The incident involving a hotel assistant supervisor was said to have occurred at a five-star hotel near the Kuala Lumpur Sentral Station on April 14.

Kuala Lumpur police chief, Datuk Muhammad Sabtu Osman said the man, with the title 'datuk seri', had his statement recorded at 11am, but declined to state the venue.

"The police will continue to investigate according to procedures although the victim had retracted the police report," he said here Friday.

Last Friday, the woman in her 30s, lodged a police report at the Brickfields police headquarters, alleging the former minister of molesting her at the hotel.

However, she retracted the report two days later, through a lawyer's letter sent to the Attorney-General and the police
