Sabah PKR to File Police Report over Allegations of Anwar’s Involvement in Bribery Scandal
Background
Sabah PKR is set to file a police report over allegations that Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim is trying to protect several Sabah assemblymen implicated in an alleged bribery scandal. The allegations were made on several TikTok and Facebook accounts, claiming that Anwar is trying to protect these assemblymen to help PH negotiate for more seats for the next Sabah state elections.
Sabah PKR’s Response
Sabah PKR information chief Razeef Rakimin has denied the allegations, calling them "baseless and maliciously intended to tarnish the reputation of the prime minister." Razeef emphasized that Anwar is well known for his stance against corruption and abuse of power, and urged all parties to let the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) probe the case.
MACC Investigation
The MACC investigation is focused on mineral project licences, with links to a businessman who has had dealings with several Sabah assemblymen. Police and MACC reports have been filed against former Sabah Mineral Management Sdn Bhd CEO Jontih Enggihon, accusing him of colluding with a witness believed to be behind several videos alleging corruption involving the assemblymen.
Witness’s Denial
Jontih has denied the allegations, saying the claim that he acted as a middleman between the whistleblower and assemblymen was a total lie. MACC has rejected a request for immunity by the witness, citing concerns that he may be involved in the alleged corruption.
Conclusion
The allegations against Anwar and the Sabah assemblymen are serious and have the potential to undermine public trust in the government. Sabah PKR’s decision to file a police report is a necessary step in ensuring that the truth is uncovered and justice is served. It is essential that the MACC investigation is allowed to proceed unhindered, and that all parties involved are held accountable for their actions.
