KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Army (TDM) has received a report of the alleged assault on a personnel of the Signals Unit at Camp Resah, Seremban, Negeri Sembilan on March 8.
Army Chief General Datuk Muhammad Hafizuddeain Jantan (pix) said a transparent and comprehensive investigation is underway to ascertain the cause of the incident which happened to the 22-year-old victim from Sungai Petani, Kedah.
“I have just been informed of this. The matter is still under preliminary investigation,“ he briefly told Bernama when contacted via WhatsApp today.
Earlier, a police report and several pictures showing bruises on the victim’s shoulder blade and elbow circulated on several social media platforms.
