Prime Minster Datuk Seri Najib Razak is disappointed that the statement by Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA) chairman Tan Sri Annuar Musa relating to the purchase of property in Melbourne, Australia was twisted by certain media.
He said the decision on the property purchase was made by consensus by the Economic Council.
"I am disappointed that Tan Sri Annuar Musa's statement was twisted by certain media. The decision was made by consensus by the Economic Council.
"However an investigation will be conducted by the relevant authorities," he said in his latest status update in his Facebook and Twitter accounts today.
Najib said if any parties were found to have cheated or deceived any Economic Council board members with inaccurate or incomplete particulars, legal action will be taken against those responsible.
Annuar in a media conference here today said MARA conducted an internal audit and assisted the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission (MACC) in its investigation on its subsidiary, Mara Incorporated Sdn Bhd, in connection with allegations of fraud on the property purchase in Melbourne involving its senior officer.
He said the audit process and MACC investigation which began several weeks ago, were still in progress.
