Police are investigating Nasir Safar under the Sedition Act over alleged racist remarks made during a seminar, according to federal CID director Mohd Bakri Zinin.
Yesterday, Nasir, the special aide to Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, was alleged to have labelled Indian and Chinese Malaysians as pendatang (immigrants) while speaking at the 'Rapat 1Malaysia' seminar in Malacca.
Bakri said investigations were based on 12 police reports were lodged in various locations throughout the country.
Asked if Nasir would be apprehended and hauled to court over the matter, he said it would be premature to comment on pending investigations.
"Let us investigate first. We must gather all the facts and witnesses. Only then would we decide whether to detain him," he said.
Bakri was speaking to reporters today after presenting badges to canine handlers at the Malaysian Police Training Centre's canine unit in Kuala Lumpur.
