00:00A report claiming a major leadership reshuffle in the police force won't topple the government.

00:09This is former law minister Zayed Ibrahim's response to the police investigating Malaysia

00:13Kini over the report that two senior officers will be transferred to different agencies.

00:19He said that simply issuing a denial would have sufficed instead of summoning three journalists

00:23from the news portal.

00:25The journalists will have their statements recorded at the Dangwangi Police Headquarters

00:28at 2.30pm today.

00:31On Tuesday, Malaysia Kini's article quoted a police source as saying that Deputy Inspector-General

00:36of Police Ayub Khan Malin Pichai and Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department Director

00:41Shuhaili Zain would be transferred out of the force.

00:44However, Zayed said it was inappropriate to harass journalists over possible criminal

00:49offences related to their reporting, adding that journalists exercise caution and verify

00:53sources to ensure their credibility.
