PKR has urged for the arrest of Mohamad Salleh Ismail, the husband of Wanita UMNO head Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, for an attempt to bribe the police and MACC officials who were investigating the scandal-plagued National Feedlot Corporation which he chairs.
Referring to the arrest of businessman Shamsubahrin Ismail for allegedly trying to bribe investigators in the probe, PKR strategic director Rafizi Ramli said Shamsubahrin was just a middleman for Salleh.
Saying it had sources to confirm that the 'consultation fee' paid by Salleh to Shamsubahrin was to be handed to investigators, PKR said Salleh should also be arrested and charged for bribery.
"PKR has ascertained through sources that the RM1.755 million Mohamad Salleh paid was intended to bribe police and MACC investigators. Shamsubahrin was just the middleman, in collusion with Mohamad Salleh,” said Rafizi, adding that the money had been disguised as 'consultation fee'.
Shamsubahrin, 45, was charged on December 30 for cheating Salleh of RM1.755 million for consultation services which he knew he could not deliver.
The businessman was arrested on December 22 for attempting to bribe investigating officers in the NFC probe, and had his remand extended three times before being charged in court.
Citing Section 4 (16) and 4(17) of the MACC Act 2009, which states that any person who offers money in person, via a middleman or with other persons, can be found guilty and charged with the offence, Rafizi insisted that Salleh could be found guilty of attempted bribery as well.
“This is based on the fact that Salleh had prepared the money for bribery by signing a cheque for RM1.755 million. Secondly, Salleh also agreed to Shamsubahrin’s proposal to persuade the MACC and police officers by preparing the money,” he said.
According to Rafizi, Shamsubahrin was a "fall guy" in the dealing.
“It is regrettable that the authority still wants to protect Salleh and the family of the senior minister although it is clear that he was involved in attempted bribery to cover the bigger fund abuse in NFC,” he lamented.

Please allow me to introduce you to Dr.Jeffry Kitingan. Dr.Jeffry Kitingan is from Sabah. Dr.Jeffry Kitingan graduated from Harvard University. The Hindu Malaysians and Dr.Jeffry Kitingan have more things in common than we probably realize.
Dr.Jeffry, in the past, was detained under the infamous ISA. Many Hindu Malaysians, in the past, have also been detained under the ISA.
Dr.Jeffry Kitingan is a Christian, and thus, a non-Muslim. Hindu Malaysians are also non-Muslim Malaysians. That is, both Dr.Jeffry and Hindu Malaysians are non-Muslims.
Hindu Malaysians have tried many political parties to seek better representation. Dr.Jeffry Kitingan also has tried many political parties before bringing together his Borneo Agenda/United Borneo Front and Third Front in Malaysian politics.
Now, lets discuss the Malay Regiment. The Malay Regiment is only allowed to recruit Muslims and Malays. Why? We, the non-Muslims, need an answer. It is all about Malaysia first or Islam first. The non-Muslim Malaysians need unambiguous answers. Does the Malay Regiment serve the Muslims or Malaysia? Does the Malay Regiment fight for Malaysia or Islam? The Malay Regiment has to choose between Islam and Malaysia because they cannot have both. As a matter of fact, all Malaysian citizens should put Malaysia first. Even the King/Agung should always put Malaysia first. Even the Constitution of Malaysia should put Malaysia above everything else.
Dr.Jeffry Kitingan has often been called a frog because he has hopped from one political party to another. He most certainly is a frog. There are advantages at hopping from one political party to another. Being branded a frog is sometimes the best thing. Each time you move from one political party to another, you gain experience. Thus, he has gained a lot of experience. Through trial and error he has learned a lot.
Thomas Alva Edison said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work". Robert F. Kennedy said, " Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly".
Failure is success if we learn from it. I am sure Dr.Jeffry Kitingan has learned a lot. I hereby would like to ask all Hindu Malaysians to give their support to Dr.Jeffry Kitingan. . I hereby would like to ask all Hindu Malaysians to form an alliance with Dr.Jeffry Kitingan. May he help to create a Malaysia where Malaysian citizens will put Malaysia first. May he help to create a Third Front in Malaysian politics. May all Malaysians who believe that changing faith is an involable human right to be supportive of Dr.Jeffry Kitingan.
Please pass the word around to all Hindu Malaysians to keep an eye on Dr.Jeffry Kitingan at the political level.Please feel free to copy and remail this composition to anybody.
