Police recorded Bloomberg journalist's statement yesterday

Media reported yesterday, May 6, 2024, the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) have recorded a statement from a Bloomberg journalist over the international news agency’s report about purported plans to build a casino in Forest City, Johor.

As reported by FMT, the journalist, Encik Ram Anand, was seen leaving the Bukit Aman police headquarters at 11am after arriving at 8.30am yesterday.

Ram is one of three journalists who contributed to the Bloomberg report.

Last Friday, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain said Bukit Aman’s classified crime investigation unit would be recording a statement from an editor of an English-language news portal at 11am on May 6.

He said the matter was being investigated for sedition, criminal defamation and the misuse of network facilities.

Razarudin said the investigation was initiated after a police report lodged by a lawyer of Berjaya Group founder Tan Sri Vincent Tan over the article, “Malaysia Mulls Casino at Forest City: Bloomberg”.

“The report was lodged after it was alleged to contain false, unwarranted and fake information,” he was quoted as saying.

Investigations are being carried out under Section 4(1) of the Sedition Act, Section 500 of the Penal Code, and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.

Razarudin also said police would record a statement from Tan and Genting Group chief executive Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay, although a date has yet to be set.

Last month, Bloomberg reported that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim had met Tan and Lim to discuss plans for a casino at the Forest City development, which has been described as a ghost town.

Anwar, Berjaya and Genting Malaysia have all rejected the claims made in the Bloomberg report.

Last week, Anwar suggested that those mentioned in the report take action against Bloomberg.
