A PKR-linked NGO who exposed the purchase of a RM7.2 million bungalow by minister's son Nedim Mohd Nazri has expressed “a million thanks” to Nedim's celebrity girlfriend Nora Danish for confirming the allegation.

NONESolidariti Anak Muda Malaysia (SAMM) propaganda director Edy Noor Reduan (right), in a statement, said that the actress’ statement not only “strengthen's the claim” but also the need for anti-graft authorities to probe the matter.

“SAMM is also prepared to cooperate with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission and the Inland Revenue Board on documents we have on hand, in an effort to drag this 'shark' to justice,” he said in a statement.

Yesterday, Nora, 31, reportedly told Sinar Harian's entertainment section Zass that the RM7.2 million bungalow was jointly-purchased for Nedim's mother by Nedim, who is the son of Culture and Tourism Minister Mohd Nazri Aziz, and several others.

“It must be remembered that today, a large portion of the rakyat who struggle to save money to buy homes of their own cannot reach their goals due to escalating home prices.

“Yet at the same time, a minister's son is living the high life and can afford anything he wants, without having to face questions over the source of his income,” Edy Noor said.

Nedim earlier this year was embroiled in controversy when he was listed as a special officer at the Culture and Tourism Ministry.

Nazri had also explained that his son is not on the government's payroll, while Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak said politicians' family can volunteer services as long as it is not on the public tab.
