The PKR delegation to expose dealings of alleged dirty money from the awarding of logging concessions by Sabah Chief Minister Musa Aman will fly to Hong Kong on Tuesday with more 'revelations".

This time the delegation, led by PKR director of strategy Rafizi Ramli, will be armed with further documentary proof of the dealings to hand over to Hong Kong's Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), hoping for resumption of the probe into the case.

The "evidence" include details of bank accounts and their transactions, including a list of companies involved in the alleged dealings, he said.

NONE Rafizi ( right ) will be accompanied by party treasurer and Selayang MP William Leong, Petaling Jaya Selatan MP Hee Loy Sian and Teja assemblyperson Chang Lih Kang.

"We want to show the Hong Kong ICAC the link between a businessman, who made the RM40 million contribution, and the Sabah CM," said Rafizi, in Penang last night.

"We are going to show the documents which include various accounts belonging to Musa in Hong Kong," he added, at a DAP organised forum titled 'Whistleblowers vs Corruption'.

On stage, Rafizi was accompanied by PKR veep and Batu MP Tian Chua and Jelutong MP Jeff Ooi, while state DAP chief Chow Kong Yeow launched the forum.

Musa mulling legal action

Rafizi, an accountant by training, said this despite an ICAC letter stating that it would not conduct further investigations against Musa.

Sabah BN secretary Abdul Rahman Dahlan via an interview with news portal Malaysian Insider had warned that Musa is mulling legal action against Rafizi based on the letter.

NONE Abdul Rahman ( left ), also the Kota Belud MP, alleged that Rafizi may have committed defamation (against Musa) as well as alleged breach of Section 29(4) of the MACC Act 2009 which protects the identity of an accused.

Regardless, Rafizi said his team has scheduled a meeting with the ICAC's top investigators for Wednesday morning (Dec 12) to submit the "evidence".

He added that he was "very confident" that the documents - once studied by the investigators - the case would be reopened as it would be the island's parliamentarians who will push the ICAC in that direction.

"This case has great implications for Hong Kong as one of the world's leading financial centres," he told a hall packed with DAP supporters at the Penang Chinese Town Hall.

"We were asked to provide bank statements and details of accounts because the parliamentarians are also suspicious of the RM40 million . They cannot believe that it is merely donations," he added.

Thanks due to whistleblowers

Rafizi reported that in the last three weeks, since returning from Hong Kong on Nov 23, his team had been busy collecting documents, obtained with the efforts of several whistleblowers.

These informers, he added, had approached him on the quiet via the organisation he initiated - National Oversight and Whistleblowers Centre (NOW) - to hand over letters, bank statements and detail of companies allegedly involving Musa.

NONE These documents have yet to be submitted to the ICAC in the last visit in November, where PKR leaders had met with three members of the Security Panel of the Legislative Council.

These individuals are like member of parliaments or legislators, with the ICAC falling under their purview.

The three - James To, who is the vice-chairperson of the panel along with members Leung Kwok Hung and Raymond Wong - helped arrange a meeting with ICAC's acting chief investigator Martin Chan Chee Hwa.

"We are now collecting information regarding the activities of these companies and the activities of Musa's business associate (Michael Chia) in Hong Kong," said Rafizi.

"We are doing this so that the focus would be on the offence committed there.

"If there is enough proof, the ICAC can probe the matter fully as it took place on Hong Kong's soil," he added.

"And if there is a case, Musa can go on trial in Hong Kong," he stressed and the crowd cheered on hearing his comment.

Rafizi said it appears only in Malaysia that the case is not being pursued by the police or the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission or reported openly in the media, compared with the interest shown by foreign journalists.

Those interested include journalists from international business papers who are currently studying the case because they are aware of its significance, reaching beyond Musa and Malaysia.

"This case will show whether the ICAC in Hong Kong is truly independant or not.

"If it is, the territory's good reputation will be strengthened as one of the main financial centres in the world," said Rafizi.

"So, it is all right if the mainstream papers here do not report this matter.

"The case will get much media attention in Hong Kong, when it eventually reopens," he added, to loud claps from the audience.

Update to HK meet

Rafizi is expected to return to Malaysia on Wednesday afternoon and is scheduled to address Penangites on his meeting in Hong Kong at a ceramah in Bayan Baru that evening.

He said once the Hong Kong authorities complete their probe and detect any wrongdoing, Malaysia will be asked to extradite Musa and his properties to Hong Kong.

If Malaysia refuses to comply, "We will have a CM who cannot leave the country," he quipped, setting the audience roaring with laughter.

"If he leaves the country, and goes to Bangkok, or any other countries, he would be nabbed," Rafizi said, much to the delight of the crowd which responded enthusiastically.

The crowd was in stitches again when Rafizi cracked: "Then we'll have a CM who cannot go to Hong Kong and a PM who can't go to France."

NONE Rafizi was referring to Prime Minister Najib Razak ( right ) who may be subpoenaed to testify in a Paris court over alleged illegal commissions paid by French shipyard builder DCNS to top Malaysian officials.

The commissions allegedly involved Malaysia's RM7.3 billion deal inked in 2002 for the purchase of two Scorpene class submarines, while Najib, who was then defence minister, has denied any links.
