COMMENT | Perikatan Nasional has joined the chorus pressuring the police to continue their investigation into the allegation that a deaf-mute e-hailing driver was purportedly assaulted by a VVIP's bodyguard.

But to be fair to the police, I was made to understand that the police investigation is still ongoing. Anyway, to remove any doubt, perhaps the police need to inform the inquisitive public of the current status of the investigation and when such an investigation would be expected to be duly completed.

Has the alleged culprit, for instance, been summoned to the police station for his statement to be recorded? The victim initially lodged a police report against the alleged assailant claiming that he had been assaulted by the bodyguard of a member of a royal family after he was asked to move his car while waiting in the lobby of a five-star hotel at KL Sentral.
