Kuala Lumpur, Feb 08: Malaysian Police investigating the sale of nuclear parts to Libya have found nothing to implicate a firm partly owned by the Prime Minister's son, newspapers reported today. ''We are still at the early stage of investigation and we have not found anything to show that the company had done anything wrong,'' a newspaper quoted Inspector-General of Police Mohammad Bakri Omar as saying.
He said police hoped to wrap up investigations soon.
Malaysian Police said this week they were investigating a Sri Lankan businessman who is allegedly a middleman in the supply of centrifuge parts for uranium enrichment.
They said the Dubai-based businessman got components from Scomi Precision Engineering Sdn Bhd (Scope), a unit of Scomi Group Bhd, which is controlled by the Malaysian Prime Minister's son and two others.
Scope said the components it made were ordered for oil and gas work.
Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak denied on Saturday that Malaysia was a nuclear proliferator.
''No one should label us as a nation helping others to strengthen their nuclear capability and so on, as this is not our policy,'' official news agency quoted him as saying.
Najib said no one should distort or exaggerate the production of precision equipment by a local company as such equipment had multiple applications and was not just meant for use in nuclear weapons. Bureau Report
