PETALING JAYA: Allegations have surfaced that opposition politicians worked with whistle-blower site Sarawak Report to forge documents leading to the many exposes of 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB), Barisan Nasional (BN) said yesterday.

BN strategic communications director Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan said there was “solid evidence”, including an alleged video confession, provided in a police report lodged by an undisclosed person in Petaling Jaya yesterday morning.

Abdul Rahman, however, refused to divulge the identity of the complainant or the contents of the video confession, supposedly made by an “editor” of Sarawak Report.

“In the video, the person mentioned the names of some opposition leaders,” Abdul Rahman told reporters yesterday.

He urged police to work with Interpol and Scotland Yard to record statements from the individuals mentioned in the video, as some of them were British citizens, before the “evidence is destroyed”.

Abdul Rahman said the details of the police report and the complainant can be revealed by police in due course, adding that he was not willing to do so due to “professionalism” and “to be fair” to the complainant.

“The complainant showed me the evidence and I had also seen the confession video,” he said.

However, he said it would be premature for the Malaysian government to drop a note to the United Kingdom over the matter.

“That would be premature. Let the investigations take place first,” he said.

However, he urged police to pay “special attention” to the latest police report made against Sarawak Report. — The Malaysian Insider
