Pas Fumes As Madani Gov T Washes Hands In Dirty Money Allegation With Pmx Vincent Tan Implicated

---

 
PAS has slammed Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail over the latter’s “hilariously brief” parliamentary reply to a question on outcome to a police probe over a viral video of the PKR Wangsa Maju division head claiming to have received election funding from party president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
In his reply to questions #37 dated Aug 4 from PAS Pasir Mas MP Fadhli Shaari over the funds believed to have emanated from tycoon Tan Sri Vincent Tan Chee Yioun, Saifuddin merely stated that “initial review and investigation on the matter points to internal auditing issues and administrative problems within the party”.

“There is a clear violation of the law involving the giver (Vincent Tan), the first recipient (PMX) and the second recipient (PKR division head),” Central PAS Information Committee’s Research and Policy Department director Nurul Islam Mohamed Yusoff lashed out.
“This is no longer an organisational issue. It is an accusation from a PKR division head who clearly stated that he received illegal funds from Vincent Tan through the PKR president who is also the Prime Minister.”

For context, Fadhli who is also the Islamist party’s information chief had on May 17 given PMX an ultimatum to officially deny the viral video which purportedly showed PKR Wangsa Maju branch chief Lai Chen Heng admitting to receiving funding from PMX but was ‘advised’ not to declare/audit the proceeds to avoid any money trail.
Nurul Islam further urged PMX to come clean “by coming forward to explain if there is truth in the allegation, how much money was received, who were the recipients of such funding at the division head level and so forth”.
This is because the matter goes beyond “an internal issue of a political party” for it involves possible violations of national laws including Section 4(1) and Section 4(1)(b) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (AMLA 2001).
“The PKR secretary-general (Datuk Fuziah Salleh) had previously stated thar PKR will take disciplinary action against the PKR Wangsa Maju division chief after the party’s national congress,” recalled Nurul Islam.
“But so far, we haven’t seen any announcements yet. The arising question is that if you act against the second recipient (Lai), what about the first recipient (PMX)? Are you going to take action as well?
“It’s an irony for the person who talks about governance and his party suffering is eventually exposed by his party’s division chief for accepting illegal money from Vincent Tan. Then the issue is regarded as the party’s internal audit matter.” –  Focus Malaysia
