Information chief Ahmad Fadhli Shaari says although Shamsul Iskandar Akin has resigned as the prime minister's senior political secretary, it does not absolve him of the need for investigation.
00:00PAS has lodged a police report over claims that controversial businessman Albert K. paid multiple bribes to P.K.R.'s Shamsul Iskandar Akin.
00:09PAS Information Chief Ahmad Fadli Shaari said Shamsul's resignation as the Prime Minister's political secretary does not absolve him of responsibility and that he must still face a fair investigation.
00:20Fadli also said that PAS was coordinating similar police reports nationwide, with several already filed in Thurganu and Navees Mbilan, and that NGOs were expected to do the same.
00:31PAS Youth Information Chief Kairul Nazir Helmi Azhar, who was also present, described the allegations as a major blow to anti-corruption efforts.
00:39The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission said yesterday that it would investigate Tay's claims against Shamsul.
00:44It also summoned Tay and a woman named Sofia Rini Buyong to its Putrajaya headquarters on December 1st to assist in investigations.
00:53However, Fadli said that MACC Chief Commissioner Azam Baki should recuse himself, following Malaysia Kini's report of a video released last night, in which Shamsul allegedly asked Azam to settle Tay's case.
01:04According to Malaysia Kini, Tay claimed he had spent 629,000 ringgit on Shamsul, including renovations for properties linked to him, as well as premium cigars and custom-made suits, allegedly under the assurance that he could recover the funds channeled to Saba politicians.
