NASHARUDIN Mat Isa has handed over documents and financial statements to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, which is investigating allegations that the PAS leader received RM90 million, said to be 1Malaysia Development Bhd funds, from Umno.

The Islamist party’s former deputy president also gave MACC personal financial information and bank statements requested by the agency, including the financial accounts of the Global Movement of Moderates Foundation, of which he is executive chairman.

Speaking to reporters after a four-hour questioning at the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya today, Nasharudin said he is thankful to be given the opportunity to make clarifications and hand over the documents.

He said he explained to MACC officers matters such as the sources of funds and how the money was spent, adding that the details are included in the financial statements he provided.

“I hope MACC carries out investigations into all parties concerned, for example, those who claim to have evidence. I hope they come forward and help MACC.

“I am also thankful to MACC for acting swiftly on the police report lodged over the RM90 million controversy.”

Asked about the status of the funds, he said he is leaving it to the commission to investigate and issue statements on the matter.

Amanah vice-president Husam Musa was also expected to be called in today to give his statement.

However, he told Bernama he is in Kelantan, adding that he has not been told that he needs to present himself to MACC.

The former PAS vice-president previously claimed to have details on the RM90 million.

PAS central committee member Nik Mohamad Abduh Nik Abdul Aziz today gave his statement at the Kelantan MACC headquarters.

Asked about Nik Abduh giving his statement, PAS vice-president Mohd Amar Nik Abdullah said the party has no problem with the MACC probe as it has nothing to hide.

“I cannot give further comments because the investigation is in progress.”

The alleged RM90 million transfer hit the headlines once more after PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang, on February 1, offered to settle his suit against Sarawak Report editor Clare Rewcastle-Brown over a 2016 article that made the claims. – Bernama, February 8, 2019.
