#kininews : 'PM’s explanation is a lie'- Bersatu Youth files police report against Anwar, Guan Eng

[KiniNews] Several Bersatu Youth leaders have filed a police report against DAP chairperson Lim Guan Eng and Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim for allegedly misleading the Dewan Rakyat.

This is over their denial that Lim, as then finance minister, was responsible for revoking the Albukhary Foundation's tax-exempt status.

Bersatu Youth chief Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal claimed Anwar’s explanation that a finance minister could not interfere with the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) director-general’s decisions, as per sub-section 44(6) of the Income Tax Act 1967, was misleading.

Wan Fayhsal claimed that Anwar, who is also the finance minister, failed to mention that sub-section 44(6B) allowed Lim, as the finance minister at the time, to appeal any of the IRB director-general’s decisions.

Wan Fayhsal also claimed that Lim could have invoked Section 127(3) of the same Act which grants the finance minister the power to exempt anyone from the provisions of the Act.

As such, he urged the police to investigate both Lim and Anwar for falsifying information, fabricating false evidence, criminal conspiracy and defamation.
