"Further investigation papers were opened in accordance with Section 500 of the Penal Code, Section 203A of the Penal Code and Section 8 of the Official Secrets Act 1972," he said as reported by Berita Harian.

He explained that so far, the police have received 134 police reports from all over the country against the former Attorney-General.
