Ummi Hafilda and the General Operations Force personnel stationed at his residence will also be called up to give their statements as a police report was lodged over Ummi Halfilda’s Facebook post on May 14.

In the post that went viral, she alleged that members of the family violated the interstate travel ban to celebrate Hari Raya together, when others could not travel across districts, even to visit the graves of their family members.

The post carried a photo that Azmin had uploaded on his social media, showing him in a video call with family members.

District police chief Mohd Fadzil Ali said initial investigations found that the Hari Raya gathering was among the minister’s family members who lived under the same roof.

“A statement from the officer in charge of the security post at the minister’s home said that no guests came in on May 13,” he said today.

Fadzil also advised the general public to be cautious in making statements without basis that may tarnish the image of others.

On May 11, the government imposed a total ban on visits during the first day of Hari Raya. Visiting  family members’ graves was also prohibited.
