PN sympathiser backs off after ‘claiming’ MACC offers Wan Saiful RM10m to implicate Muhyiddin

PRO-Perikatan Nasional (PN) political observer Mohamad Shafiq Abdul Halim has apologised to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) for ‘accusing’ the latter of having offered RM10 mil to Bersatu information chief Datuk Wan Saiful Wan Jan to implicate the party’s president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin of wrongdoing.

However, after the graft buster’s chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki threatened to take legal action against him for his slander and lie which are capable of “destroying people’s trust in the commission”, he blamed Pakatan Harapan’s (PH) cybertroopers for having tampered with his live TikTok video post.

“The live (video) on my TikTok this afternoon was a reaction to malicious slander made by Pakatan Harapan cyber troopers who seemed to be a judge in confirming that Datuk Wan Saiful has demanded and accepted bribes,” he clarified in his Facebook page after Berita Harian sought Azam’s reaction on the matter.

Why Bersatu Panicked After Wan Saiful Charged For Corruption – Annuar Musa Could Be Next

When Wan Saiful Wan Jan was charged for receiving RM6.96 million (RM6,962,694.54 to be precise) kickbacks from Nepturis Sdn Bhd in exchange for a lucrative road project – Central Spine Road worth a staggering RM232 million – it has raised eyebrows. The information chief of Bersatu or Malaysian United Indigenous Party has actually been slapped with two charges.

First, he was charged with soliciting bribes from Nepturis. Second, he was charged for receiving the bribe. Why are both charges different? Because in the first charge, he had solicited an “unspecified amount” of kickbacks for the RM232 million project. Meaning the RM6.96 million he had received was not the final amount – the amount solicited and the amount received was different.
 
Unless Wan Saiful and Nepturis Sdn Bhd were incredibly dumb that they put it in black and white how much bribes must be paid in order to secure the project, the only explanation that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is charging Wan Saiful of soliciting an “unspecified amount” from the company is that the contractor has been singing like a canary.
