Maszlee Drubs Inconsistencies In Macc Probe Explains Vellfire Use
Simpang Renggam MP Maszlee Malik has questioned alleged inconsistencies in the MACC probe against him.
The investigation is in regard to monies from an Education Ministry-linked company which he allegedly accepted when he was a minister for political purposes.
"Yesterday (it was) RM50,000, today RM200,000? Honestly, a minister's allocation is more than that," Maszlee tweeted.
Both amounts cited were reported by The Star citing sources.
The lawmaker also questioned whether he was active in party politics at the time.
Maszlee was the education minister from 2018 to early 2020 and he was also a Bersatu supreme council member.
He is now a PKR member.
Vellfire ownership
On allegations he inappropriately accepted a Toyota Vellfire from another ministry-linked company, Maszlee asked whether he had ever owned such a vehicle.
"Did I ever own any? The one used during (my time at) the Education Ministry belongs to the government, (it was) not mine.
"Find other allegations lah, this one is too lame," he added.
A photo of a white Vellfire with a "Menteri" plaque above the licence plate is making the rounds on social media and is allegedly the one the MACC is investigating Maszlee for.
When contacted by Malaysiakini, Maszlee said the white Vellfire is the one he mentioned in his tweets.
However, he was unclear on whether that was the vehicle under scrutiny by the MACC and said it was a question for the graft buster to answer.
Maszlee claimed the allegations against him was a character assassination attempt ahead of the Johor state election, which he is expected to contest. - Mkini
