(Sept 28): Police have recorded a statement from Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's former political aide, Matthias Chang today, lawyer Ahmad Bazlan Che Kassim said.

Chang, who had recently accompanied former Umno leader Datuk Khairuddin Abu Hassan overseas to lodge police reports on 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), spent nearly an hour at the Dang Wangi police headquarters in Kuala Lumpur.

This follows police investigations on the sacked Umno Batu Kawan deputy chief who is currently detained under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma).

Chang, said Bazlan, would have to return to the same police headquarters on Friday at 10am.

"He had his statement recorded as a witness on the allegations made against Khairuddin."

Meanwhile Bazlan, in a Bernama report said Khairuddin was still admitted at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital, as he was suspected to have contracted dengue.

Khairuddin was previously arrested at his residence here.

He was remanded for six days beginning Sept 19 under Section 124C of the Penal Code on charges of performing activities that were detrimental to parliamentary democracy.

On September 23, Khairuddin was re-arrested at the Jalan Duta Court Complex under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma) on charges of attempting to sabotage the country. – The Malaysian Insider
