Bersih 2.0 has called on premier Najib Abdul Razak to debunk a claim that his office had attempted to pay a DAP elected representative to declare himself an Independent member of the Johor state assembly.
Steering committee member Wong Chin Huat said it is vital that Najib clears the air on this allegation, as failure to do so would bring down his credibility.
"The claim by DAP Johor (about) the RM150,000 offer highlights another of Bersih (2.0)'s demands, which is to do away with corruption.
"We call on the PM to clear his name, file a suit against this person, because silence only means that it is true and he (PM) would lose all moral authority to pursue reform," he told a press conference today in the Parliament lobby.
Wong was referring to a claim
by Bentayan state assembly person Gwee Tiong Hiang(right), who alleged that he had been approached by an 'agent' - claiming to represent the prime minister - to negotiate for his defection from DAP.
Gwee claimed the offer included a RM150,000 one-off payment, 50 acres of land, at least RM5,000 in extra monthly allowance, a service centre and a personal assistant, should he agree to jump ship.
He added that the agent allegedly also gave the assurance of support in facing DAP in the 13th general election.
