KUALA Lumpur police chief Mazlan Lazim said police were present at a deluxe condominium to examine the CCTV recordings and record the statement of security personnel at the condominium following a report from a Bersatu member.

“Following the report we went to the location to check and not raid any apartment unit at the location,” he told Utusan online today.

The police action followed a complaint lodged by two leaders of the youth wing of Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s Bersatu.

The Bersatu member in his complaint alleged that vans bearing the logo of the Prime Ministers Department and cabinet delivered boxes containing 50 Birkin handbags to Pavilion Residences on Thursday evening.

The report alleged that the boxes showed the name of the consignee as Rosmah Mansor.

Two photos provided in the complaint showed a van with the department’s logo and a shopping trolley filled with orange boxes. The location, the date and the contents of the boxes — including whether there were any of the handbags inside — could not be ascertained from the photos.

The Birkin handbags concerned would cost US$200,000 (RM800,000) each, the complaint said.

A foreign media report yesterday said some 20 police officers entered the marble-floored lobby of the Pavilion Residences apartment block in Kuala Lumpur.

It said they were aided by at least a dozen other plainclothes law-enforcement officers. Security personnel from the building — which is owned by Desmond Lim, a wealthy Malaysian businessman and supporter of Najib — were cooperative. – May 13, 2018.
