INVESTIGATIONS into the assault of a deaf e-hailing driver are still ongoing, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
Anwar said he has personally been following the case’s developments and urged all parties to stop speculating on the matter.
“Who said the case is closed? The police must be satisfied, and the Attorney-general must be satisfied with the investigation findings and only then take action.
“The country follows the rule of law, and one cannot judge based on perception or hearsay,” he told reporters after performing Friday prayers in Kampung Pasir today.
Earlier this month, the victim Ong Ing Keong submitted a memorandum to Anwar over the prolonged delay in prosecuting the suspect.
In their memorandum to Anwar, they demanded an explanation from the prime minister on the absence of any action against the officer who assaulted deaf Grab driver Ong Ing Keong on May 28 while he was waiting for passengers at a hotel.
They also questioned why no action was taken against police officers who had attempted to get Ong to withdraw his complaint, despite assurances from Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain.
On May 28, Ong, an e-hailing driver lodged a police report alleging that he was punched by a VVIP escort.
