JOHOR BARU: Investigations into the SMS involving Deputy Education Minister Dr Wee Ka Siong have been completed, Johor police said.

State police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Mohd Mokhtar Mohd Shariff said a report has been passed to the Deputy Public Prosecutor.

"We are now waiting for the DPP's recommendation before proceeding with further actions," he said yesterday.

DCP Mohd Mokhtar said police have recorded statements from several witnesses on the matter.

Later in Kuala Lumpur, Dr Wee said he would take action against those who fabricated slanderous remarks against him.

"I will not let those who hurt me off the hook. They must face the consequences of their action," he told reporters after attending the party's presidential council meeting yesterday.

He added that he would also take action against the English daily that implied that he was linked to a sex scandal.

The SMS which was being circulated said Dr Wee was going to resign within 90 days.

Dr Wee has since denied the allegations.
