IGP tells media to wait for update on Jong-Nam assassination

KUALA LUMPUR: The police yesterday said that they would not be answering any questions regarding the assassination of Kim Jong-Nam as there is "something going on", according to Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar.
"Something is going on, I don't want to make statements to affect the plans underway," he said.
He did however assure the media and the public that once everything is in place, the police will reveal and release a statement that is necessary.
"You have to wait, but maybe not long," he said.
"I ask for patience and cooperation from the media. Once we have anything to reveal, we will do so," he said at a the "Gift of Love" ceremony for Khalid organised by the Orang Kota Baru Association yesterday.
He also remained mum on the kidnapping of Pastor Raymond Koh but did say that there were developments.
"I won't tell you about our investigations, but there are developments. I have personally spoken to his family and his wife and have briefed them," he said.
In a direct response to a Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam) statement yesterday calling for the police to conduct a reasonable and independent investigation into the death of 44-year-old S. Balamurugan in police custody on Feb 6, Khalid said that their investigation was complete.
"We have completed our investigations and have made recommendations and have forwarded the case to the Attorney-General's Chambers," he said.
He said that if there is wrongdoing, the police won't protect anybody.
Khalid also said that some people have come forward to confess in the case of 26 missing shotguns belonging to the Selama District's Malaysian Voluntary Department (Rela) in Perak earlier this month, but did not reveal how many.
"I can't tell you how many but here were people who have come forward today," he said.
"I advise the rest of them to come forward or we will take action," he added.
