[UPDATED] IGP: Police probe focuses on circulation of purported JAC document leak internally, online
KUALA LUMPUR: Police are focusing their investigation on the leak and spread of suspected minutes from a Judicial Appointments Commission (JAC) meeting, particularly their circulation within internal networks and on social media. Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Mohd Khalid Ismail confirmed that a report had been received on the matter, and that the investigation is being handled by the Federal Criminal Investigation Department's (CID) Classified Criminal Investigation Unit. "The case is being investigated under Section 8 of the Official Secrets Act 1972, Section 203A of the Penal Code, and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998. "The police will summon all relevant and competent witnesses to assist with the investigation," he said in a statement. He also reminded the public not to disclose any documents or information classified as restricted, warning that firm action would be taken against anyone found to be involved in the leak and circulation of such material. It was earlier reported that a police report had been lodged over the alleged leak of the JAC meeting minutes. Earlier today, Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil had said that he was made to understand that a report had been lodged on the matter, but could not verify the legitimacy of the document. Fahmi, who is also the government spokesman, said the cabinet had not discussed the matter yet. However, he said if the document was legitimate and classified, it would fall under the Official Secrets Act.

IGP: Police investigating purported leak of judicial meeting minutes, witnesses to be called in
PETALING JAYA, July 13 — Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Mohd Khalid Ismail today said that police have launched an investigation into the alleged leak of minutes from a recent Judicial Appointments Commission (JAC) meeting. In a statement this evening, Mohd Khalid said the probe will focus on the disclosure and circulation of classified information, both within internal channels and on social media platforms. 'The police will call in all relevant witnesses to assist with the investigation,' he said. He also reminded the public not to share any documents or information marked as confidential, adding that firm action will be taken against anyone found to be involved. Earlier today, Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will discuss allegations surrounding the purported leak with Cabinet members next week. A purported excerpt of the JAC's meeting minutes from May was said to have been leaked on social media. The post has since been taken down on Reddit, but snapshots of the post are reportedly circulating on other social media platforms such as Facebook and X. The purported leak came hot on the heels of allegations that there had been attempts to influence the appointments of new judges, a claim that had prompted nine government backbenchers to call for a Royal Commission of Inquiry.
