MB Dan Wang Juta-Juta

Dulu Tan Sri Muhammad Muhammad Taib ditangkap kerana membawa wang RM4 juta di Australia dan kemudiannya dia hilang jawatan MB. Kini Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan didakwa terlibat dalam pemindahan wang sebanyak RM10 juta ke London. Kini beliau sedang disiasat oleh Bank Negara. Adakah ini bermakna peluang Tan Sri Samad kembali menjadi MB N9 semakin cerah? Tunggu dan lihat.


Ignorance no defence for Negri MB in RM10m transfer

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 30 — Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan has found himself in a pickle over his alleged transfer of RM10 million to London, due to the perception that he should have known better than to send the money through a money changer.

The Negeri Sembilan Mentri Besar’s use of a money changer has thrown up a host of questions, most of which involve corruption allegations that the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) — and even his enemies in Umno — are already exploiting.

Mohamad’s predicament has invited comparisons to another Umno politician — Tan Sri Muhammad Muhammad Taib, the former Selangor MB — who was caught in Brisbane in 1997 for failing to declare nearly RM4 million worth of Australian dollars.

Muhammad admitted in court later that he had bought several properties worth nearly RM17 million. He was eventually acquitted after he claimed ignorance of Australian laws because he could not understand English.
