RM13mil Canadian bank transfer claim – Mukhriz wants more details
Mukhriz Mahathir said this was the first time he was hearing about the RM13mil transfer to the Canadian bank and wanted his successor to provide details.
PETALING JAYA: Former Kedah menteri besar Mukhriz Mahathir has demanded full disclosure over claims that a state-owned company had transferred RM13 million to an offshore account during his administration.
This was after his successor Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor, said he had evidence that Kedah’s Menteri Besar Incorporated (MBI) had transferred the money to a Canadian bank account.
“This is the first time I am hearing of this. A reporter asked me about this. I’m also unaware of another issue that was raised (by Sanusi) and I shall wait for more details before I comment further,” he was reported as saying by Sinar Harian.
“We hope to get an official statement on this. There is no need to go on with propaganda and accusations just like that. This is like a hit-and-run,” said Mukhriz.
Besides the RM13 million bank transfer, Sanusi also spoke about how Mukhriz’ adviser had incurred a RM1.3 million bill for Hari Raya goodie bags.
The cost of the bags were higher than the “kuih raya” itself, Sanusi told a press conference after attending the Kedah assembly today.
He made the two claims in lamenting about the repeated debates on “old matters” by the opposition in the assembly today.
Sanusi used the two revelations to claim that he was one who did not dig up the past, unlike the opposition. However, he stopped short of giving full details of the claims of impropriety of past menteris besar, singling out only Mukhriz.
