Frustrated with the slow pace of investigations into an alleged Internal Revenue Board (IRB) raid on its premises, a Kuala Lumpur-based private college is seeking Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng's intervention.

The college's spokesperson Matim Md Mahmudul told Malaysiakini that a former senior minister could be behind the raid, which was carried out in March last year when BN was still in power.

Recalling details of the "gangster-like raid", he claimed that IRB officials threatened to shoot a lecturer, locked students in a room for hours and even attempted to coerce a domestic worker into confessing she was having an affair with the college's owner.
