KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Jamal Md Yunos has been remanded for three days starting today to facilitate investigations into photos allegedly showing him displaying a firearm.
Selangor CID chief SAC Fadzil Ahmat said the remand is expected to expire on Friday.
"Earlier Jamal was remanded in the hospital as he is still undergoing treatment. The magistrate was from Banting," he said.
Police detained the 47-year-old at a private hospital along Jalan Memanda, Ampang at 1.15pm yesterday.
It is learnt that the arrest was made after a police report was lodged by a Kuala Langat Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM) member on May 12.
Selangor police chief Commissioner Datuk Mazlan Mansor said Jamal was under detention in the same private hospital where he was receiving treatment
He was arrested over an offence under Section 34 of the Firearms Act 1960.
Section 34 of the act stipulates that any person who is drunk, or who behaves in a disorderly manner, while carrying a firearm shall, on conviction, be liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year, or to a fine not exceeding one thousand ringgit, or to both.
Mazlan added police are also investigating Jamal in connection with several other cases and two arrest warrants would be served on him as soon as he is discharged from the hospital.
Jamal, who is Sungai Besar Umno division chief, is best known for leading the "Red Shirts" group who organised protests to counter rallies by Bersih 2.0 as well as by Pakatan Harapan supporters.
