IGP's daughter in firearms company report: Anyone can run a business, says Deputy IGP

New Straits Times

KUALA LUMPUR: Anyone in Malaysia has an equal opportunity to run a business as long as it is in accordance and within the boundary of the country's law and regulations.

This was Deputy Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Noor Rashid Ibrahim's response to a Sarawak Report article yesterday which linked an arms-selling company to Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar.

Noor Rashid was met after he officiated the graduation ceremony of the Inspector cadet basic course series 3/2015 at the Police Training Centre (Pulapol).

The article claimed that Khalid's second daughter Juwiza Khalid, 32, and his brother-in-law Mohd Isa Husin, 59, are the owners of Nilai Arms & Ammunitions (NAA), with Juwiza being the biggest shareholder.

"What's more important," Noor Rashid said, "is that any job or business must be according to the law. Anyone's children have a right and fair opportunity, and they too must adhere to the law."

Asked whether police will investigate Sarawak Report on the article, Noor Rashid said police will go over the content of the article before deciding on the next course of action.
