NEGRI Sembilan Menteri Besar Aminuddin Harun today denied the allegation his son was questioned by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in its investigation into the awarding of a project.

He believed the allegation was deliberately made to tarnish his reputation as a state leader.

“I didn’t even know that my son was called by the MACC and he did not say anything. Do not slander by saying my son was called by the MACC,” he said at a press conference after chairing a state executive council meeting in Seremban today, responding to the allegation by Solidariti Anak Muda Malaysia (SAMM) founder Badrul Hisham Shaharin, better known as Chegubard.

In a Facebook posting on February 2, Chegubard alleged that the MB’s son and a Rembau contractor were called up by the MACC over a project.

“If the allegation is true, it is the duty of the MACC to investigate the matter,” Aminuddin said.

“Anyone who has the proof should make a report, not make an allegation based on someone else’s story. I see a lot of accusations.

“Lodge a report and I have no problem with it (but) make sure there is proof.

“People have the habit of telling stories and speaking on video. So, as news recipients, we need to ensure whether the news is genuine or otherwise,” he said. – Bernama, February 5, 2020.
