IPOH - Malaysia's police chief on Friday defended the police's move to question two opposition MPs over what they said three months ago that appeared to be critical of the government of Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin.

"The Bukit Aman third-class investigation unit, who have been given the responsibility to investigate special cases that involve politicians, previously reviewed several reports lodged by certain individuals throughout the country in relation to political issues. Opposition MP Hannah Yeoh, the former Deputy Minister of Women, Family and Community Development in the previous Pakatan Harapan government, said last week that she had called up by police over a tweet related to child marriage.

The former deputy minister had asked on March 9, a few days after the new Cabinet of Prime Minister Muhyiddin was formed, what would happen to the roadmap on ending child marriages drawn up by PH.
