PAS reiterated its call for authorities to investigate claims made by carpet trader Deepak Jaikishin on the alleged cover-up by Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak and his family members in regard to the murder of Mongolian national Altantuya Shaariibuu.
“If not I will send a memorandum to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong,” threatened the Islamic party’s vice-president Mahfuz Omar (left).
Speaking at a press conference at the party’s headquarters in Kuala Lumpur today, Mahfuz criticised the continued silence of the Attorney-General’s Chambers, the police and Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) over the serious allegations.
“This involves the honour of the prime minister, his family, our country and indeed the Agong.”

He explained that the enforcement agencies are all answerable to the Agong as head of state and their conduct reflects on the authority granted them by the monarch.
'Stop dragging your feet'
Mahfuz called upon the various enforcement bodies to stop dragging their feet and begin to look into the matter seriously as the rakyat demands action and the honour of the nation is at stake.
“The MACC is like Sabun Pencuci Rosmah Mansor (Rosmah Mansor’s Detergent Powder) he jibed, making a joke about the anti-graft body’s Malay acronym SPRM.
He was alluding to the MACC agreeing to vet BN election candidates for corruption, which some quarters claim is outside the commission’s legal mandate.
Mahfuz also urged Deepak to come forward to authorities with the specifics of his claim so that they can open investigations.
Deepak had recently came forward with serious allegations against the premier and his family members in a series of interviews with Malaysiakini and other news portals, confirming earlier allegations made by former private eye P Balasubramaniam.
Though Deepak has made it clear that he came forward as he was being “haunted” by the ghosts of Altantuya and because his business interests were being allegedly “disturbed” by people close to Najib.
The PM and authorities have been notably silent over the matter.
