KUALA LUMPUR, May 14 — Kajang Police today confirmed that they had received two reports alleging that Religious Affairs Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Zulkifli Mohamad Al Bakri had defied the movement control order (MCO).

Kajang Police chief ACP Mohd Zaid Hassan said the police enquiry paper had been opened for the purpose of a preliminary investigation.

“So far, only an oral statement from the complainant has been recorded.

“Statements from other parties will be taken upon instructions from the Selangor Police Contingent headquarters,” he told Bernama when contacted here.
