NGO Files Police Report Against Albert Tei Over Hajiji Defamation Claim

Group G57's chairman Zulkarnain Mahdar has filed a police report accusing Albert Tei of making defamatory statements, according to the NGO's official position. The organisation has simultaneously requested that the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Authority (MCMC) probe the allegations.

Zulkarnain stated that the group believes the comments in question constitute defamation and warrant official investigation by relevant authorities. The specific nature of the alleged statements and their target remains central to the complaint.

The move represents an escalation in the matter, with the NGO pursuing both police and regulatory channels to address what it characterises as defamatory conduct. The MCMC, which oversees communications standards and content regulation in Malaysia, has been approached to examine the case from a media regulatory perspective.

Authorities will now determine whether the allegations meet the threshold for further investigation and potential legal action. The case highlights ongoing concerns about accountability for public statements in Malaysia's media landscape.
