Umno Youth demands answers on 'corporate mafia', Sabah mining, KWAP issues
KUALA LUMPUR: Umno Youth has hit back at Pakatan Harapan over accusations that Umno and Barisan Nasional leaders had plundered public funds, demanding answers on several controversies.
Umno Youth has criticized Pakatan Harapan for alleging Umno and Barisan Nasional leaders have misused public funds, seeking clarification on several controversies. The group's chief, Datuk Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh, urged Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to address the latest developments related to the corporate mafia, Sabah mining scandal, and KWAP investment losses.
Dr Akmal questioned the status of these issues during his policy speech at the Umno Youth delegates conference in Kuala Lumpur. He also raised concerns about the cases involving businessman Albert Tei and Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin, both of whom have been previously charged in court for graft. Despite previous statements from police regarding the corporate mafia investigation, Dr Akmal emphasized that the Umno Youth will stand by its leaders facing charges, urging members to support them and not treating prosecution as proof of guilt.
