IPOH:
Police are looking into a claim that a man had not been allowed to make a police report, allegedly for security reasons.

The claim was made in a video clip that has been widely shared.

Ipoh police chief Yahaya Hassan said in a statement tonight that the case had been referred to the integrity and standards compliance division for an internal investigation, Bernama reported.

He said the police welcomed all feedback given by the public.

“The police have never, and will never, stop anyone from lodging a police report at any police station in the nation,” he said.

A 35-second video clip was posted on Twitter by user @nanmanjoi8715 and showed a man (TikTok user @vikramnaidu4488) claiming that the police refused to accept his police report due to security reasons.
