KUALA LUMPUR, Thurs:
Police will not drop investigations into molest allegations by a woman against a former minister, despite the retraction of the report by the victim. City police chief Datuk Muhammad Sabtu Osman said the police will continue investigating the case and are waiting to talk to the former minister, who is currently overseas.
“It is not up to us (police) to drop the case. We will record a statement from the VIP when he returns from overseas to find out what actually transpired,” he said today.
Muhammad Sabtu said police were currently interviewing eyewitnesses and would forward the investigation papers to the deputy public prosecutor’s office as soon as the investigation was completed, whatever the outcome.
The 30-year-old woman had, on Wednesday, retracted a report she had lodged last week alleging molest by the former minister, in his 50s.
The woman’s lawyer, Datuk Shafee Abdullah, said his client had given him a statutory declaration to retract the police report, claiming that the whole situation was a misunderstanding.
The statutory declaration has been handed over to the Attorney-General's Chambers and the police.
In her report on Friday, she had alleged that the former minister hugged her last Thursday while she was at work in a cigar shop at a five-star hotel in Kuala Lumpur Sentral, Brickfields.
The report was lodged at the Brickfields police headquarters.
Muhammad Sabtu said police may recommend that the woman be charged with lodging a false report if the investigation leads to this.
Meanwhile, lawyer Karpal Singh said the woman cannot withdraw the report, according to law.
“A person who lodges a report cannot at his whim and fancy withdraw same by way of a letter of statutory declaration. A person who lodges a report runs the risk of lodging a false report. He is bound by the contents of the report,” he said in a statement.
Karpal said action against the former minister should be taken if the contents of the report were found to be true, even though the report had been withdrawn.
“However, if the probe reveals that the contents of the report are false, then the woman should be charged with giving false information to the police.”
tunku : there are two scenario here, first the lady black mailing the ex minister and the other scenario is the ex minister "settle" the case with the lady.but for sure the ex minister is the person who grab the lady's ass.i think that is why he is no more a minister, thank god.

My dear Tunku,
The police are doing the right thing in continuing with their investigation against the ex-minister. I think he is guilty, takut after the lady made a police report, bribed the lady to tarik balek her report to point of making statutory declaration. Now either the ex-minister or the lady is in trouble. If the police investigations by calling on witnesses to testify reveal that ex-minister is guilty, then he gets 10 years jail or so. If police report is false, than the woman will be charged with making false report. Maybe also 10 years jail.
I think the ex-minister is a gatal sial orang tua who has nothing better to do than to kacau young women by fondling them and in a pub where Muslims are not supposed to drink alcohol? Where are the people from Jakim? Why don't they arrest the minister and the woman, both of whom are Muslims?
My dear Tunku, do you know who the ex-minister is? Perhaps you already know but dare not put his name. But in case you don't here are some clues.
He is from pahang, very close friend of najib. In his 50s, berkacha mata and has big janggut. He was with the angkasawan in the news. He insulted the Indians at an overseas functions by calling them slaves or hamba. Go and look at Jeff Ooi's screenshots blog where 5 names are given for you to guess. No 1 name is out as he is definitely not Rafidah Aziz. Why would she molest the woman unless of course she is lesbian?
Have a nice day, my dear Tunku
