GEORGE TOWN: Penang police have confirmed receiving a report alleging that a state assemblyman assaulted his 36-year-old wife last Saturday.
Penang police chief Datuk Dennis Lim Kwang Keng said investigations were ongoing, with police in the final stages of preparing the investigation papers under Section 323 of the Penal Code.
He said statements had been recorded from four individuals, including the couple and their family members.
“We are currently in the process of completing the investigation.
