The investigation paper on Deputy Health Minister Dr Noor Azmi Ghazali who was said to have violated the movement control order (MCO) when he attended a lunch event at a religious school in Perak recently is expected to be completed today.

Inspector-General of Police Abdul Hamid Bador said the investigation paper will be submitted to the public prosecutor for further action.

“Investigations are still being conducted and (the paper) is expected to be ready today. 

“All the cases which went viral such as this will definitely be investigated and action will be taken,” he told Bernama today.

Last Friday, several photographs Noor Azmi uploaded on Facebook showing his visit to a religious school had gone viral, with netizens saying he had violated the MCO.

The media reported that Perak police chief Razarudin Husain said initial investigations found that Noor Azmi had earlier viewed the preparedness of the Health Ministry staff in Lenggong in his capacity as deputy health minister.
