“We encourage these whistleblowers to provide information on criminal cases, but it should be done according to the laws and they must not act recklessly. When asked whether the police would take action on Mohd Asri, Hamzah said the police would question him so that proper action could be taken on his allegations.
At the same time, he said, stern action would be taken against police personnel if the allegations that they have been protecting illegal activities turned out to be true. Earlier today, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador had contacted Mohd Asri to thank him for his revelation.
