Woman Claimed Stress Led to Fabricated Story About IGP's Permission for Travel

A woman in her 30s, who works in Kuala Lumpur, claimed that stress from the movement control order (MCO) led her to fabricate a story about using the Inspector-General of Police's (IGP) connection to gain permission to travel back to Kuantan. Her statement has been recorded by the Pahang police, who are investigating the circumstances surrounding her return to her parents' house on April 12 without a seemingly valid reason during the MCO period.
Police Investigating Travel Permit Circumstances

Pahang police chief Datuk Abdul Jalil Hassan confirmed that the woman's statement was recorded by the state Criminal Investigation Department. The investigation is ongoing to determine how she was permitted to travel and reach her parents' home on April 12, as she did not appear to have a valid justification for the journey under the MCO regulations at that time.
IGP Denies Involvement in Travel Permission

The Inspector-General of Police has explicitly denied being contacted or granting permission to any individuals to travel without a legitimate reason during the MCO. This statement from the IGP counters any implication that his office was involved in facilitating the woman's journey.
Woman's Social Media Activity and Subsequent Deactivation

Prior to the police recording her statement, the woman had posted on her Twitter account about her desire to return to Kuantan, which she initially intended to do on April 10. She had also alleged that her father's efforts to reach the IGP were unsuccessful. A video posted two days later showed her at the Genting Sempah intersection, believed to be en route to Kuantan. Following criticism from netizens regarding her claims, she subsequently deactivated her Twitter account.
