DAP-Jelutong MP Jeff Ooi suspects possible coercion of the DAP member, who filed a police report on the alleged ‘Christian conspiracy’ yesterday just after the ministry had said there was “some basis” to the allegations.
Speaking to reporters in Kuala Lumpur today, Ooi said they believe that the man, DAP Bukit Tumba branch committee member Mohamed Razali Abdul Rahman, may have been convinced to do so by his relative who is a special branch police officer who monitors political activities in the Jelutong area.
“We were told Mohamed Razali and this officer are relatives, and that it was this officer who was instrumental in helping Utusan Malaysia get the story. I hope the police can start to look into this angle and make a fair and just investigation into the case.
“We don’t know his motive or intention for filing his police report some five days after we filed our police report denying the allegations made in Utusan,” he said.
Ooi added that Mohamed Razali had accompanied Ooi when the MP lodged his police report on May 8, showing a press photograph of the two together at the station.
Yesterday, police confirmed that they received a report regarding the incident that they said gave a “different” account of the events. Both Mohamad Razali and the authorities have, however, refused to reveal the report’s contents.
“The (news coverage) in Utusan and TV3 (on Mohamed Razali’s report) were short of details. Both mentioned that (he) was at the scene where the dinner organised by the Christian community was held, and he said, ‘I know what actually took place.’ He is hiding behind a police report.
“We’ll be truly glad if Mohamed Razali were to repeat what he said in the police report so that if it threatens the DAP’s position, and the position of the Christian community, perhaps we can seek legal redress,” he said.
Utusan on May 7 ran a front page story quoting two pro-Umno bloggers, claiming that Christian religious leaders are plotting to make Christianity the religion of the federation and appoint a Christian Prime Minister.
