Police want victims and those with information of Britain paedophile Richard Huckle to come forward and assist in the investigation.
Deputy CID chief Datuk Law Hong Soon said until now, no police report had been lodged over the matter.
“We have began to probe the matter and have interviewed several people over the matter,” he said today after the Fun Run for Missing Children Portal programme.
He said the Bukit Aman’s D11 unit (sexual crimes, domestic violence and child abuse investigations division) is conducting a thorough investigation of the matter.
The Malaysian police are also working together with Britain's National Crime Agency (NCA), he added.

Huckle was arrested at London Gatwick airport in December 2014 as he came home to Britain from Malaysia for Christmas.
Richard Huckle, 30, took pictures and video footage of himself abusing the children which he uploaded to the dark web -- a hard to access part of the Internet often used for illegal activity.
Investigators found over 20,000 indecent images on his computer, while Huckle also kept a ledger of his attacks and wrote a manual called "Paedophiles And Poverty: Child Lover Guide".
Graphic details of dozens of sexual offences by Huckle emerged for the first time Wednesday as his sentencing hearing started in London on Wednesday.
British media reported that freelance photographer Huckle, 30, may have abused up to 200 children aged between six months and 12 years, from 2006 to 2014.
The 91 charges levelled against him related to 23 children from mainly poor communities in Kuala Lumpur. He admitted to 71 of the charges.
The broadcaster said he first visited Malaysia on a teaching gap year when he was 18 or 19, before going on to groom children while doing voluntary work.
Huckle was said to have provided English language tuition to poor Christian community in Kuala Lumpur.
