Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein today denied a report by Australian newspaper which claimed that his brother was paid to secure a government contract for an Australian company.
Speaking to reporters when met at the launching of the Dang Wangi district police station today, he claimed ignorance over his brother Haris Onn Hussein's (right) activities and said, "Firstly, I don't even know what my brother is doing and secondly, I don't think an Australian (company) would do that."Asked if he is denying all claims in the report, he said yes, that was what he said.
According to Melbourne-based The Age, currency technology firm Securency hired Haris in 2009 to source for Malaysian contracts. There report said, “Securency hired Haris Onn Hussein in the hope he would offer it access to, and influence over, Malaysia's top politicians.” Hishammuddinl, at the time, was the Umno Youth chief and also the youth and sports minister.
Two pertinent questions to be asked:
1. Will anyone in his right mind will deny any 'links' to or knowledge of corruptions that implicate his own sibling?
2. Is anyone so naive as to think that no Australian company will ever be involved in corrupt practices?
