KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 5 – The police recorded a statement from Tian Chua in connection with the controversial meeting between Lembah Pantai MP Nurul Izzah Anwar and Jacel H. Kiram, the daughter of a former Sulu terrorist chief who invaded Lahad Datu, Sabah in 2013.
The Batu MP turned up at the Federal Police Headquarters in Bukit Aman about 11.30am, accompanied by his lawyer, R. Sivarasa, as well as several supporters. Speaking to reporters later, Tian Chua said he had given full cooperation to facilitate police investigations and the issue should be settled amicably.
Meanwhile, Criminal Investigation Department (Investigation/Legal) deputy director, Datuk Amar Singh Ishar Singh confirmed the police had recorded Tian Chua’s statement. He said the case was investigated under Section 124L of the Penal Code for attempted sabotage.
The Nurul Izzah-Jacel meeting had angered the people of Sabah and family members of those who were killed in the Lahad Datu incident, to the extent the Sabah State Assembly on Nov 26, passed a motion to bar Tian Chua and Nurul Izzah from entering the state. On Nov 9, Jacel had uploaded four photographs of her meeting with Nurul Izzah in her Facebook account, which drew the ire of various quarters in the country.
