Kuala Lumpur police chief Mazlan Lazim said a “first information report” would be prepared as no member of the public had come forward to lodge a police report so far.

“The first information report made was to obtain initial information to enable an investigation to be initiated on the spread of the video recording. Police will investigate first to see what are the offences,” he told reporters at a community event in Segambut today.

He urged members of the public to come forward and share any information concerning criminal activities instead of spreading the information on social media.

“We want information from members of the public in various forms such as through the Volunteer Smartphone Patrol app or contact the Kuala Lumpur police hotline number 03 2115 9999. Police will respond within 15 minutes,” he said in his speech at the gathering.

Yesterday, a two-minute video titled “Hari kelima perbicaraan Datuk Seri Najib” (“Fifth day of Datuk Najib’s trial”) showed Najib’s defence counsel Shafee Abdullah questioning a witness. The video has gone viral on the social website.

It was learnt that the recording was uploaded via the account of Najib’s former special officer, Isham Jalil, at noon yesterday and had been viewed more than 227,000 times, shared by more than 3,700 Facebook accounts and received more than 1,900 comments.

It is believed that the recording was taken during the fifth day proceedings of Najib’s trial at the Kuala Lumpur High Court last Thursday.

Yesterday, a member of PPBM’s legal bureau committee, Saiful Ambar Abdullah Ambar, said a police report would be lodged on the video recording as it was a violation of the law and an insult to the court.
