Accepted Answer

No Further Action Decision for Tei Jiann Cheing's Complaint Against Tan Sri Azam Baki

The Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC) has decided to classify the investigation paper concerning businessman Tei Jiann Cheing's complaint against Tan Sri Azam Baki as No Further Action (NFA). This decision was made after a comprehensive review of the investigation paper submitted by the Royal Malaysia Police, which alleged an offence under Section 506 of the Penal Code. The AGC concluded that the necessary elements of a criminal offence under this section could not be sufficiently proven based on the submitted evidence.
Insufficient Proof for Criminal Intimidation Elements

The AGC's review found that the evidence presented in the investigation paper did not meet the threshold required to establish a criminal offence under Section 506 of the Penal Code. This section specifically addresses criminal intimidation, which typically requires proof of intent to cause alarm or fear of injury to any person. Without conclusive evidence demonstrating such intent or the commission of acts constituting intimidation, the AGC could not proceed with any charges.
Review of Police Investigation Paper

The investigation paper in question was submitted by the Royal Malaysia Police following Tei Jiann Cheing's complaint against Tan Sri Azam Baki. The AGC undertook a thorough examination of this paper, which detailed the allegations and the evidence gathered by the police. This review process is standard procedure when allegations of criminal offences are brought forward, ensuring that all legal requirements for prosecution are met.
Background of the Complaint and Counter-Actions

This decision follows a broader context where two investigation papers involving Tan Sri Azam Baki were referred to the AGC after police investigations were completed. Azam Baki himself has previously denied the allegations made by Tei Jiann Cheing. In response to the claims, Azam Baki has also initiated legal proceedings by filing a defamation suit against Tei Jiann Cheing.
