KOTA KINABALU: DAP Sabah will be lodging a report with the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) here against the alleged corrupt practices of a senior politician.
According to its Publicity Secretary Ginger Phoong, the report will be lodged by him and Likas assemblyman Tan Lee Fatt today.
Ginger who is also Luyang assemblyman, said that this followed a police report lodged by Tan at the Karamunsing police station at 2pm yesterday.
“I received a compilation of 81 allegations against a senior Sabahan politician. The allegations had been doing viral on social media and phone messaging. The allegations said that the politician had been involved in corrupt practices and there were even claims of criminal elements in the person’s action,” Ginger told reporters yesterday.
Both he and Tan want the relevant authorities like MACC, police and even Bank Negara to investigate the alleged wrongdoings and to take the necessary action if any.
“We are doing this based on our sense of responsibility as Sabahans. We would like to stress that we are not accusing anyone of any wrongdoing however because of the information we received, we want the relevant authorities to find out if there is any truth in the allegations,” Ginger stressed.
Meanwhile Tan said earlier he also lodged a police report against Tan Sri Musa Aman urging that he be investigated under Section 6 of the Penal Code for filing a writ against Head of State Tun Juhar Mahiruddin and Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal.
