I KNOW NOTHING, SAYS NIK MOHAMAD ABDUH

People who reported me to MACC ‘have wrong person’, says Bachok MP

-

PAS central committee member Nik Mohamad Abduh Nik Abdul Aziz said he knew nothing about allegation­s that party members including himself received RM90 million from 1Malaysia Developmen­t Bhd (1MDB).

He also claimed that several individual­s who had lodged a report with the Malaysian AntiCorrup­tion Commission (MACC) previously had got the “wrong person”.

“I have been summoned by Kelantan MACC because of some report about the RM90 million fund. I believe those who made the report against me had mistaken me for someone else. I know nothing about the RM90 million fund.

“I also touched a bit on the audio recording (allegedly implicatin­g me) and had said that it had nothing to do with me. I had also said that it was slanderous nonsense” he said at the MACC headquarte­rs at Jalan Lundang here.

Earlier, Nik Mohamad Abduh, who is also Bachok member of parliament, arrived at the Kelantan MACC headquarte­rs alone without being accompanie­d by a lawyer at 10.20am and left at 12.30pm.

Asked if he would give his cooperatio­n to MACC if called again to give his statement, he said: “Whatever it takes ... MACC is my friend, a friend of Pas,” he said.

News portals reported yesterday that three politician­s were expected to be present at the MACC office to give their statement to assist in investigat­ions into allegation­s of receiving RM90 million from the 1MDB fund, which was channelled into the accounts of several Pas leaders.

It is understood that the three politician­s are from various political parties, including Pas and Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah).

Two of them testified at Putrajaya’s MACC headquarte­rs while another at the Kelantan MACC office.
