Show Proof Of Race Based Corruption Claim Or Apologise Loke Tells Sanusi

---

 
PUTRAJAYA: Provide concrete evidence or publicly apologise immediate for claiming that non-Muslims make up the majority of those arrested for bribery, Kedah Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor has been told.
DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke chided Muhammad Sanusi for making such remarks and deemed the allegations as unfounded and irresponsible, expressing concern that such sweeping statements negatively impact the country's multi-racial society.
"I challenge Sanusi to present the evidence. What study supports your assertions?
"If Sanusi fails to provide evidence, he should publicly apologise," Loke stated in a statement on Wednesday (July 12).
Loke, who is also Seremban MP, said corruption should not be linked to a particular race and that all parties had a responsibility to fight graft.
Muhammad Sanusi had claimed that non-Muslims formed the majority of most arrested for bribery. However, he did not give any data to support his claims.
Backing PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang's claims that non-Muslims were the cause for corruption in Malaysia, Sanusi pointed his finger at DAP as the ones who started playing the narrative that Malay leaders were involved in bribery.
"I stick with my stand which is the same as Tok Guru (Abdul Hadi) that as long as it is true, then I will speak.
"Just go and take a look at the record of those arrested for the offence of giving and receiving bribes, many are non-Muslims, it is a fact and it is true," he claimed in last night's (July 11) Keluar Sekejap podcast with hosts Khairy Jamaluddin and Shahril Hamdan. - Star
