Malay rights group Perkasa today challenged cattle-rearing project operator National Feedlot Corporation (NFC) to lodge a police report denying allegations that it had used credit cards to misuse RM600,000 of the company's funds.


 Perkasa president Ibrahim Ali dared NFC executive director Wan Shahinur Izmir Salleh to make the report, since he has been the one

 "I challenge Izmir, if you're in the right, you (Izmir) should state the false and the slander," said Ibrahim.


 "I dare Izmir to make a report that the others (making the allegations) are false."

 "There are no personal expenses as alleged.


 "The business development expenses by the four directors reflect the magnitude of its multi-million ringgit sales," said Izmir, stressing that the facts were with the relevant authorities.


 Rafizi claimed that four family members of Women, Family and Community Development Minister Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, had spent a total of RM593,500 in 2009, using credit cards, with the money coming from the NFC funds.


 
 Two-hour briefing by NFC chairperson
 


 The PKR leader, who is in charge of the party's expose on the NFC, said the four who hold management posts in NFC had swiped the credit cards that are charged to the company for expenses of between RM122,402 and RM182,525 each.


 Following this expose, PKR-linked NGO Jingga 13 lodged a police report against the four.

 Earlier, Perkasa and several Malay NGOs were given a briefing by NFC chairperson and director Mohamad Salleh Ismail, the husband of Women, Family and Community Development Minister Shahrizat Abdul, which lasted more than two hours.


 "But they (the four) went to Australia for the sake of promoting this and that, therefore they used the company credit cards," Ibrahim said.


 At a press conference after the briefing, he also said whether a police report was lodged against NFC or not, Perkasa would continue to "keep its trust" in the company, based on the explanation given today.


 Some of the other NGOs were Malaysian Entrepreneurs Council, Peninsular Malay Students Coalition, Consultative Council, Malay Professional Thinkers Association and Children of Kelantan Association.


 Ibrahim said the group would also accept any decision made by the police and Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission on the case.
