KUCHING: The authorities concerned will leave no stone unturned in its investigation into the operation of Radio Free Sarawak (RFS), Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein said.

No, (we will not leave any stone unturned) when it comes to security. I want Malaysia to be safe, thats all, and I believe everybody also wants the same, he told a news conference during his official visit to the State Home Ministry’s office at Mile 6, Penrissen Road here yesterday.

Earlier, he confirmed that a police report had been lodged against RFS for its alleged ploy to run down the Sarawak government by broadcasting malicious lies.

He added that an investigation into the complaint was still on going and action would be taken against those involved if they were found to be doing things against the law.

Not only that particular radio transmission that I am fully aware of, but we will not take action until we have enough evidence that they are clearly doing things against the law, which are not just about politics but also the spreading of malicious lies; issues on unity and racial harmony.

In fact we are investigating on many, many sources. Radio Free Sarawak is just only one aspect of it. If you are in my shoes, you realise that there are actually a lot more threats that are coming in, he said.

Asked whether Internal Security Act (ISA) could be imposed on those people behind the radio broadcasts, he, however, said: ISA is only going to be imposed on people that really threatened the security of the country.
