PETALING JAYA – Opposition leader, Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin today confirmed that bank accounts belonging to him and his wife were frozen by the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) since yesterday.
He claimed that the IRB resorted to such action following pressure and intervention from Putrajaya.
“It is a desperate attempt by the government to continue pressuring Perikatan Nasional (PN) which is gaining the people’s trust,” he said in a statement.
He said the action was a dirty tactic to create a bad perception of PN.
It was reported yesterday that the accounts of a senior opposition leader had been frozen.
“I am sure more political action will be taken against me and other PN leaders in days to come,” he added.
However, Hamzah said such actions would not stop his fight and he would continue for the sake of the people.
In August, Hamzah sent a letter of demand to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and the government for linking him to a corruption case involving RM15 million.
He called on the MACC to “immediately cease and desist in acting in a partisan political manner”. – The Vibes, August 24, 2023
