00:00Police will summon Bloomberg in their probe into allegations that Prime Minister Anwar
00:06Ibrahim interfered in investigations carried out by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission.
00:12Kuala Lumpur Police Chief Rusti Isah said MACC lodged a report following comments made
00:17by former UMNO Supreme Council member Isham Jalil over the matter.
00:22Rusti said the case is being investigated under Section 500 and 505B of the Penal Code
00:28and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act, 1998.
00:34Yesterday, Isham had a statement taken after he urged Anwar to sue Bloomberg for publishing
00:39the report.
00:41Last month, Bloomberg reported that MACC Chief Azam Baki told officers in the agency that
00:46Anwar had given instructions to investigate former Prime Minister Dr. Mahathir Mohamad,
00:51his sons, and former Finance Minister Daim Zainuddin.
00:55Both the Prime Minister's office and MACC have since denied Bloomberg's claims.
