JITRA: The Defence Ministry has left it to the Armed Forces chief to take action against the soldier who was detained for abusing his stepson in Kuantan on Thursday, should he be convicted, said its deputy minister Datuk Seri Mohd Johari Baharum. He said the ministry was still waiting for a full report on the case from the police. “The case is seen as a physical abuse (involving an army personnel and his stepson)... it has nothing to do with the Ministry of Defence. “Anyhow, I cannot give my comments but (we) just have to wait until the police investigation is over. If he is convicted, we leave it to Armed Forces chief to take action,” he said at a JKKK community event in Taman Bersatu today.
