KUCHING, Oct 22 — The Sarawak Police Department said it is actively gathering and verifying information related to the reported incident at a Kuching school, urging media representatives to exercise restraint in their approach to officials during the inquiry.
In a statement issued on Monday, police appealed to journalists to refrain from calling the police commissioner's office directly while the investigation is ongoing. The department emphasised the importance of allowing officers to conduct their work without disruptions.
Authorities will provide a comprehensive update on the case during a scheduled press conference on October 27. Police said this briefing will serve as the official platform for disseminating information to media and the public.
The police department's request underscores standard investigative protocols, wherein agencies typically limit direct media contact during active inquiries to ensure the integrity of fact-finding processes and coordinate information releases through designated channels.
Members of the media are encouraged to await the scheduled press conference for official statements and developments related to the investigation.
