IGP says Khairuddin arrested as he was on path to destabilise Malaysia's economy and sovereignty
Khalid Abu Bakar, the Inspector-General of Police, has rebutted claims by PAS' Pokok Sena MP Mahfuz Omar that the police force is being misused by PM Najib to cover up the debt-ridden 1MDB scandal. The MP had condemned the police for arresting former UMNO member Khairuddin Abu Hassan for conspiracy to topple the government on Friday night.
The IGP said Khairuddin was arrested because he lodged reports with various foreign enforcement agencies on the matter, despite pending Malaysian investigations, reported Malaysiakini.
