Challenge me in Tapah, don't use 'wild allegations' to bring me down - Saravanan
Former minister fires back at detractors after corruption charges.
Former human resources minister Datuk Seri M Saravanan, 58, faced charges of accepting bribes totaling RM1.097 million at Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court on Friday. Saravanan, also the deputy president of the Malaysian Chinese Association (MIC) and the MP for Tapah, vehemently denied the accusations, calling them baseless and insisting he has nothing to be ashamed of.
In a press conference following the proceedings, Saravanan emphasized that he has no relationship with the individuals named in the case, apart from one individual, Syed Amirul. He urged all parties to allow the judicial process to unfold and cautioned against using tactics to discredit politicians. Saravanan further stated that he was prepared to face the trial and requested the case be expedited to prevent any negative impact on his reputation.
He also mentioned discussing the matter with the Prime Minister but denied seeking protection from him.
