PKR lodged a report on the RM40 million that came in from Hong Kong, alleging the involvement of Sabah Chief Minister Musa Aman and Minister in Prime Minister's Department Nazri Aziz, with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) today.

NONE The report against Musa and Nazri was made because they are suspected of being linked to the money that was brought into the country by businessman, Michael Chia, PKR director of strategy Rafizi Ramli ( left ) said.

The RM40 million is said to be a donation to Sabah Umno.

"A MACC report has been made and I request MACC to open a file to investigate the case on Musa Aman and Michael Chia, as well as on Nazri and his son (Nedim Mohd Nazri).

"According to the MACC Act, there is a basis for it to start its investigations," Rafizi told a press conference before entering the MACC building in Putrajaya this afternoon.

'Nazri should go on leave'

Rafizi also requested that Prime Minister Najib Razak order Nazri to take leave from cabinet while the investigations are being carried out.

"This is because he is the minister in charge of the MACC," adding that he will give the agency his full cooperation.

"The MACC is responsible for resolving this matter. I am prepared to give evidence to them," he said.

Rafizi added he will go to Hong Kong next week to continue the investigation.

"We are still communicating with certain parties. I do not want to mention any names as this is a high profile case.

"I'm worried that the government will contact the relevant embassies and this will complicate matters. I will make an announcement when it is confirmed," he added.
