Rafizi to give his statement to the police today

SHAH ALAM - PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli will give his statement to the police today over the claims made on Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Special Functions) Datuk Dr Abd Latiff Ahmad on the littoral combat ship (LCS) issue.

Rafizi said he would be at Sentul police headquarters at 3pm today to have his statement recorded.

“I was called by the police to have my statement recorded for the police report made against me this week.

“I will be at Sentul police headquarters at 3pm this afternoon.

“I hope the police also act as soon as possible (like this) to investigate the report made by Akmal Nasir regarding the disclosure of the forensic report where Latiff was named as being involved in defence contracts,” he said through his Facebook post.

Sentul police chief Assistant Commissioner Beh Eng Lai confirmed that the police would record Rafizi's statement today.

It was reported that Latiff’s aide had lodged a report against Rafizi due to his allegations that he had a wife named Zainab Salleh, who was linked to two companies involved in the misappropriation of funds in the LCS project.

He denied the accusations and challenged Rafizi to provide evidence that he was married to Zainab.

Latiff said Rafizi’s claims were aimed at smearing his reputation and incited the people against him.

Latiff’s special officer had lodged a police report against Rafizi over the case and he had given his statement to the police.
