Rafizi Ramli, who led PKRs commission to Hong Kong, pronounced the officials had merely offered their endeavour to delicately peruse all the papers he had surrendered to them as justification prior to contacting him again.
They pronounced they will go through everything in great item as well as hit us for the subsequent step. They would not contend if the box will be reopened, he told The Malaysian Insider in the phone call from Hong Kong.
But despite the ICACs secrecy, the PKR plan executive insisted which yesterdays meeting had been fruitful, adding which the agencys recommendation to keep things tip could usually meant which it views the make the difference seriously.
He pronounced PKR concluded to ensue in cloak-and-dagger fashion to apply oneself the ICACs processes as well as to ensure which should the group decide to free the books upon the case, their open statements would not ruin the investigation.
So if you have been coming again to Hong Kong, with witnesses, or without, the recommendation is which you do not make known it in the media.
This could be great for Musa, in the way, since you cannot str! ew too m uch light upon the investigation... though you will find the approach to keep things alive politically without compromising the ICACs work, Rafizi said.
The PKR plan director, along with four other PKR leaders, had yesterday submitted to the ICAC the smoke-stack of trusted contract slips as well as monetary statements from multiform accounts hold by joist merchant Michael Chia, who was investigated for income laundering as well as crime charges by the ICAC in 2008.
The documents, which item countless large income transfers done as deposits for joist concessions from multiform logging firms in to Chias account, additionally uncover the paper route link to Musa, who is the key preference maker in the endowment of such logging contracts in Sabah.
Musa is during the centre of the RM40 million domestic donation case.
According to previous reports, Chia was initial caught in Hong Kong in 2008 land the little RM40 million for Musa in Singapore currency. A subsequent examine by the ICAC as well as the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) proved unfruitful as well as the box was later forsaken after it was detected which the income had been meant as the domestic donation to Sabah Umno as well as was not meant for Musas personal use.
But Rafizi pronounced his documents, obtained from multiform people pronounced to be Chias partners in dual Hong Kong-based firms land offshore British Virgin Island (BVI) accounts, should be enough to strew light upon the crime link between the businessman as well as Musa.
He added which the ICAC officials had appeared quite meddlesome in the contract slips which, he said, obviously showed which they had not successfully sighted the! same pa pers during their progressing probe.
Dont forget, these have been BVI accounts as well as they would not have had accessed to them, he pointed out.
At the press discussion upon Tuesday, Rafizi had pronounced which Chias partners had expelled the smoke-stack of association contract slips to him the little dual months ago, presumably since they had had the falling out with Chia as well as right away were meddlesome to rodent upon the latter.
Rafizi pronounced the people were even willing to testify prior to the ICAC should their benefit be required.
The ICAC guys were really meddlesome with which bit of information. So I hold this is additionally the great reason because you should keep this still for now... you dont wish the witnesses in the box to be placed in compromising positions, he said.
I guess the concern is which if you make known the subsequent time which you have been travelling to Hong Kong as well as you have witnesses with us... the ICAC officials fear their safety.
What they additionally wish to avoid is for people to start piecing dual as well as dual together... if you keep travelling back as well as forth to Hong Kong, for example, afterwards it is transparent the box is open, Rafizi said.
Rafizi as well as 3 other PKR lawmakers had initial lodged the report with the ICAC final month, inventory 3 reasons to encourage the group to free the examine opposite Musa as well as Chia separate claims from Sabah lawmakers Datuk Seri Lajim Ukin as well as Datuk Seri Wilfred Mojilip Bumburing which the RM40 million from Chia was an provocation for corrupt gains as well as not the domestic donation to Umno as formerly claimed, as well as the taking of the oppulance vehicle from Chia by Umno apportion Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Aziz, possibly for corrupt reasons.
Musas purported link with Chia initial exploded in the media following an April article by whistleblower site Sarawak Report, which had claimed which latter was caught perplexing to leave the Hon! g Kong I nternational Airport with the RM40 million in Singapore currency.
At the time, Chia had allegedly told the authorities which the income was meant for Musa, kicking off the examine upon the array of account transfers from Malaysia to Hong Kong which was afterwards believed to be the probable laundering of monies generated from bootleg logging activities in Sabah.
The emanate hit the headlines again final month when Nazri told Parliament which Musa had been privileged of crime in the make the difference after Malaysian as well as Hong Kong anti-graft authorities found which the income was the domestic donation to Sabah Umno as well as was not meant for Musas personal use.
But in the indirect debates upon the issue, Pakatan Rakyat (PR) lawmakers chided Nazri for declaring Musa innocent without on condition which proof which the ICAC had privileged the arch apportion of the own accord.
According to Nazri, the ICAC had sealed the box after the MACC detected in the examine which the income in Chias possession was meant for Sabah Umno as well as not Musa.
After Nazris denial, Rafizi hold the press discussion in Parliament revealing what he pronounced was detailed proof which Nazri had allegedly received kickbacks from Chia to transparent his name, in the form of the RM459,000 Hummer since to his son.
