NGO urges MACC to investigate Rafizi's assets

PUTRAJAYA - The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) should investigate the RM18.85 million assets declared by Deputy Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) President Rafizi Ramli.

According to Pertubuhan Jalinan Perpaduan Negara president, Syed Mohammad Imran Syed Abdul Aziz although he salutes Rafizi for declaring his assets an investigation should be conducted by MACC.

" It has spread on social media that his assets are linked to Invoke Solutions Sdn Bhd and money has been received through the company. " Invoke was established in 2016 and was reported to suffer three losses with only two profits. Where did the money and funds come from? "We ask for the MACC to investigate it and if it is true that Rafizi was involved in money laundering, he should not be allowed to contest in the 15th General Election (GE15).

The MACC needs to see it from a legal standpoint whether Rafizi could contest for the Pandan Parliament seat," he said when met at the MACC Headquarters here.

He said there was no issues if the cash flow was from a trusted source. Syed said he was not accusing Rafizi of anything but he just wanted MACC to investigate on the matter. "We want to know where the millions of ringgit came from. We urge the MACC to investigate immediately. If found guilty, he (Rafizi) should not be eligible to contest," he said.

On Nov 2, Rafizi declared his assets were worth a total of RM18.85 million. The declaration of assets was made through the statutory declaration (SD) that was uploaded through his personal blog. Based on the declaration, most of his assets were obtained from stock investments in Invoke Solutions Sdn Bhd, the company he founded. The total included investments in Boustead Holdings Berhad owned by Lembaga Tabung Angkatan Tentera (LTAT) and an insurance policy at Prudential.
