PUTRAJAYA, - Police have opened an investigation paper against former Kedah PAS Dewan Ulama deputy chief Syeikh Muhd Zainul Asri Mohd Romli for allegedly making a seditious speech at the Himpunan Kedah Berselawat last Saturday.

Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said police had recorded a statement from Syeikh Muhd Zainul Asri as part of the investigation but he was not remanded.

"In the first meeting (with police), he admitted making a mistake and said he got carried away by the response of the crowd.

"However, I was told that investigations are continuing because there are complaints,” he told a press conference after chairing the 8th Meeting of the Committee on Foreign Worker Management here today.

Representatives of Pakatan Harapan lodged a police report against the independent speaker at the Dang Wangi district police headquarters in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.
