Hamzah cries witch-hunt over ‘unjust’ remand of Bersatu treasurer

KUALA LUMPUR – The two-day remand of Bersatu’s treasurer by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is unjust and without reasonable cause, said party secretary-general Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin.

He added that the remand is part of political prosecution to find fault with Bersatu leaders even though no crime has been committed.|

In a statement, Hamzah also called for the unity government to stop the endless political witch-hunt.

“Accept the fact that the Bersatu leadership has not committed any crimes,” he said.

He added that party treasurer Datuk Mohd Salleh Bajuri went to the MACC’s headquarters on Wednesday (March 1) to provide an explanation regarding payments made by Bersatu to the party’s suppliers and vendors.
