Cheras Umno chief Syed Ali Alhabshee said whistleblower portal Sarawak Report should report the alleged RM7 million payment from Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak to the military's intelligence chief instead of making accusations.

"If it is real then go and report and take action. The problem with them is that they make accusations without solid proof.

"If they have the evidence, report and take action. Why do they keep alleging this person got (money) and that person got (money)," he told journalist after officiating his division's delegates meeting.

Syed Ali was asked to respond to Sarawak Report which had in recent weeks highlighted alleged transactions from Najib's personal bank accounts, citing purportedly leaked investigation documents.

Amongst the alleged payments included RM7 million from the prime minister's personal bank account to the “Ketua Pengarah Perisikan Pertahanan” (director-general of the Defence Staff Intelligence Division) on April 8, 2013.

The portal claimed that the intelligence chief was Abdul Hadi Hussin, who is still serving in the position.

Malaysiakini reached out to the Malaysian Armed Forces but has yet to receive a response.

On Thursday, Defence Minister Hishammuddin Hussein, when asked about the alleged payment, said he did not have anything to hide and was open to investigations on the matter.

The alleged payment happened under Hishammuddin's predecessor Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who is now deputy prime minister and home minister.

Inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar had passed the buck to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).

Syed Ali, in his speech to the Cheras Umno delegates earlier, urged them to focus on the upcoming general election.

He stressed that BN cannot win through the support of its members alone.
