Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) adviser Robert Phang wants a report on a Sabah website probed “for passing off rumours of a court case in Hong Kong as the Gospel truth”.
Phang added that the subject of the said probe should be made public. Reason being the people have a right to know, since the case still under MACC investigation is now generating heat anew because of muck-raking”.
He described as “inaccurate” a news report last Wednesday on the “errant” website that three Malaysians - a senior lawyer and two timbermen, including a Chinese Muslim - would be in a Hong Kong court on Oct 27 for the mention of a case involving money-laundering and financing of terrorism. All three are from Sabah except one who is reportedly a transmigrant from Negeri Sembilan.
Phang (right) said if the news was true, then it was news to him as he had spent over 30 years in Sabah, which included the Berjaya administration period (1976-1985). Phang said, “But I can tell you that such a case could not be brought to a court in Hong Kong without the MACC being informed first.”
All these Phang said to Malaysiakini last night, in reference to an Oct 13 report on the Sabahkini website.
