What a joke, this means without commands CID will not do anything.. MY3 only said he wanted to make his statement before a judge in secrecy. Will MY3 agree make his statement to CID.

If he does not cooperate and give full details of what he has publicly stated he is well aware of, let's see what the authorities do next. The information he has publicly stated he has should enable the authorities to swiftly get to the 'mastermind' and solve the open questions.

What an IG, he waits for instructions from the Minister to action where enquiries are needed. MS must be grilled in the usual Police style without only recording his statement

This is not a controversial remark, but a fact that every fellow citizen is eager to know and to teach a lesson to those politicians in coming elections.
