PKR Youth chief Akmal Nasir said this would be in line with Article 25(1) of the MACC Act, which requires one to report any bribery transactions.

“It will also finally enable investigations into previously leaked recordings of (PPBM president) Muhyiddin Yassin making promises of positions to gain support to form the government, as well as PPBM Youth’s controversial offer of support letters in exchange for votes during the party elections.

“There has been no development in the investigations into this matter, despite the many police reports,” he said in a statement.

Akmal said the MACC report must be made immediately without worrying about “threats of legal action” from other parties, such as the statement made by PPBM information chief Wan Saiful Wan Jan.

“The Umno Youth chief’s (Asyraf Wadji Dusuki) allegations that he has strong evidence has only confirmed that the culture of money politics is back in full effect, and it is disappointing that such dirty practices are hidden behind religious and racial sentiments.”

Over the weekend, Asyraf had accused PPBM of “stealing and buying Umno members”, saying each Umno member who joined PPBM would be paid RM100, while an allocation of between RM3,000 and RM5,000 would be given for each branch that was set up.

In response, Wan Saiful told Asyraf to retract his allegations and apologise, failing which he would discuss with PPBM the possibility of taking legal action against Asyraf.
