PAS READY TO COOPERATE IN 1MDB MONEY PROBE

Party sec-gen asks those with informatio­n to come forward

-

PAS will give its full cooperatio­n to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in its investigat­ion into allegation­s that some party leaders received RM90 million of 1Malaysia Developmen­t Bhd (1MDB) money.

Bernama reported Pas secretary-general Datuk Takiyuddin Hassan as saying in a statement yesterday that the party would hand over all documents if required, including bank account statements of the Pas Central committee.

“This is to prove that the allegation­s of Pas receiving RM90 million from 1MDB are a lie and slander.

“Pas also welcomes and call on any parties who claim to have informatio­n on the above allegation­s to come forward and provide names and details of those who allegedly received money, so the authoritie­s can conduct an investigat­ion ,” he added.

According to Takiyuddin, Pas was confident that the MACC, as an entity with integrity, would carry out its duties and responsibi­lities profession­ally with transparen­cy.

Yesterday, the MACC had issued a statement confirming it had received a report on the RM90 million allegedly from 1MDB funds, which was channelled into the accounts of some Pas leaders.

According to the statement, a police report was made and referred to the MACC.

According to MACC sources, some individual­s would be called up to assist in investigat­ions into the allegation­s.
