PAS said today it is ready to offer full cooperation to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) which announced today an investigation into the former receiving RM90 million from rival Umno.<\/p>\n
Party vice-president Idris Ahmad was quoted saying the party will even open its doors \u201c25 hours a day\u201d to facilitate the probe.<\/p>\n
\u201cGod willing, PAS will open our doors 25 hours a day for MACC to investigate our accounts.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will cooperate, not just 24 hours a day, but 25 hours to be investigated,\u201d he was reported telling Sinar Harian.<\/p>\n
Despite that, Idris said he cannot comment further on the matter, citing subjudice.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe MACC was under Datuk Seri Najib Razak before but it\u2019s now under Pakatan Harapan. RM90 million is not a small amount, you can\u2019t use a lorry to carry money that much,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The MACC today confirmed that an investigation has been initiated to look into a claim that Umno paid RM90 million to PAS leaders to secure their support for the party.<\/p>\n
MACC in a statement today said the Commission will start investigating the claim now that they have received a report from the police regarding the allegation.<\/p>\n
Earlier a MACC source had told Bernama that the probe was being conducted in accordance with the MACC Act 2009 and the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, news broke that Abdul Hadi had settled his defamation suit against\u00a0Sarawak Report<\/em>editor Clare Rewcastle-Brown, who made the allegation, out of court. The details of their settlement, however, were not made public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" PAS said today it is ready to offer full cooperation to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) which announced today an investigation into the former receiving RM90 million from rival Umno.
