Kemasik assemblyman lodges police report over allegations

Saiful Azmi who was present at the Kuala Terengganu district police headquarters with his lawyer Mohd Kamaruzaman A. Wahab said that the report was lodged to enable the police to conduct an investigation of the allegations after they went viral on social media.

“This is my first report after the screenshots went viral. The allegations have a big impact on me, my family and the community,” he said when met by reporters at the Kuala Terengganu district police headquarters, here today.

In his report, Saiful Azmi claimed that he was not involved and had nothing to do with the said contractor.

Several screenshots of a conversation through the WhatsApp application, on a sand project and remuneration that needs to be given to the assemblyman involved, went viral on social media since Monday.

It is said to be a conversation between a senior official of a state government-owned institution, who represents the assemblyman involved, with a contractor.

Meanwhile, Terengganu police chief Datuk Roslee Chik confirmed that he received the report and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is investigating the case.
