KUALA LUMPUR: The Attorney-General's Chambers (A-GC) found that there was insufficient evidence to establish the elements of any offence to prosecute Zamri Vinoth and Firdaus Wong in court, said Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reform), Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said.
She said the police had opened an investigation paper following complaints involving the two, which was then referred to the A-GC for further instructions and a decision.
"Based on the A-GC's feedback, I have been informed that there are currently no adequate statements to prove the elements of any offence under existing legal provisions to charge both individuals in court," she said in a written parliamentary reply yesterday.
Azalina was responding to R.S.N. Rayer (PH-Jelutong), who inquired why both Zamri and Firdaus have yet to be charged in court despite hundreds of police reports being filed against them.
She added that unlike civil cases, criminal cases are not subject to a statute of limitations.
"Therefore, if there are new developments in the future, further investigation and review of the case may still be conducted," she said.
