KOTA KINABALU, 11 Sept 2008: The Sabah Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) lodged a report with the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) today over the allegation that each of the Barisan Nasional (BN) Member of Parliament (MP) who joined the study trip to Taiwan had received RM50,000.
Party Youth chief Abdul Razak Jamil filed the report at the state ACA office at 3.05pm.
"Although BNBBC (Barisan Nasional Backbenchers Club) deputy chairman Datuk Bung Mokhtar Radin has denied the allegation, we don’t know the truth, so the ACA should investigate," he told reporters after lodging the report.
He made the report based on Sarawak People’s Party (SAPP) president Datuk Yong Teck Lee’s statement in the local press on 9 Sept 2008 that the MPs who joined the trip were given RM50,000 each. The two SAPP MPs, Datuk Eric Majimbun and Datuk Dr Chua Soon Bui, did not go on the trip.
The group left for Taiwan on 8 Sept to study agricultural projects there and are scheduled to return home on 17 Sept. – Bernama
