(Aug 7): Perak PKR today lodged a report at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Agency (MACC) headquarters in Ipoh, urging the authorities to explain the donation of RM2.6 billion in Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's bank accounts.

State PKR chief Dr Muhammad Nur Manuty said the report was made under the instructions of the party's secretary-general Rafizi Ramli.

He said other party's branches were also expected to do the same across the country.

Muhammad said in Ipoh, two separate reports had been lodged: one by the state leadership and another by the state election committee.

"We want the MACC to investigate this as it is a cause of the people's worry and frustration that will affect the nation's future.

"It also has a big implication if the money was used in the 2013 general election, which could cancel Barisan Nasional's win not only in Perak, but also elsewhere," he said when met outside the MACC office in Meru today.

In the 13th General Election, Barisan Nasional won 31 out of the 59 state seats. Out of the 28 seats held by opposition parties in Perak, DAP represents 18 seats, while PKR has 5 and PAS 5.

Kuala Kurau assemblyman and Perak PKR secretary Yunus Jamhari said the reports were also to investigate 1 Malaysia Development Berhad's (1MDB) overpayment of RM1.2 billion for assets purchased from Genting Bhd.

He said a report by the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) on June 18 alleged that 1MDB had obtained a Genting unit with 75% stake in a 720mw coal power plant near Kuala Lumpur at RM2.3 billion.

Genting had reported an unusual profit of RM1.9 billion for the transaction, while 1MDB in its 2013 financial accounts recorded a reduced charge of RM1.2 billion, which shows it had overpaid for the power asset.

"We want MACC to investigate if any corruption was involved in this deal," said Yunus.

He said the reports were also on WSJ's report on Genting Plantations Bhd's (GBP) RM10 million contribution to Yayasan Rakyat 1Malaysia (YR1M), a charity body chaired by Najib.

"Share market analysts at the time said the extraordinary contribution reduced the company's net profit in the first quarter of 2013.

"MACC should investigate if GBP had any interests to gain from such a big contribution to YR1M," he said.

He added that YR1M should also be investigated as WSJ had alleged certain funds from YR1M had not reached those under the scope of the charity body, which was set up for less fortunate Malaysians in need of aid in education and sports.

"While campaigning for the 2013 General Election in Penang, Najib announced RM2 million in donation from YR1M to two local schools for the Chinese community, that were not within the poor demographics, but could give crucial support to win votes in the area.

"We hope MACC will swiftly investigate all these complaints, some of which also breached Section 19 of the Elections Act 1954," said Yunus. – The Malaysian Insider
