Langkawi member of parliament Nawawi Ahmad has lodged a police report refuting the alleged claim concerning his comment linking the Agong with the US Department of Justice (DOJ).

He said the report was lodged at the Hulu Kelang Police Station at 11.43am yesterday after various parties had criticised and blamed him on the comment regarding the Malaysian Official 1 (MO1) in the Facebook website on Tuesday.

He said the statement had been misinterpreted by certain parties after a Facebook acquaintance had asked who was MO1 (Malaysia Official 1) in the report of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC).

"In the comment, I did not say that MO1 was the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, on the contrary I had said that His Majesty was Malaysian Official Number 1 which is the highest ruler in our country. It was not linked to the MO1 in DOJ.

"This is my opinion which I understand based on Article 32 of the Malaysian Constitution which states that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong is the highest leader of the government," he said when met at the Sultan Abdul Halim Airport in Alor Setar.

Nawawi said the people concerned criticised him without reading the whole discussion with his Facebook acquaintance and only took his comment pertaining to the MO1 only.

"I wrote based on my understanding only and because the Yang di-Pertuan Agong is the highest leader to approve all matters concerning the executive, legislative and judiciary," he said.
