Phang: I've no power to influence police transfers



Former anti-corruption adviser Robert Phang has denied the claim that he had influenced the transfer of a senior police officer, asalleged by former inspector-general of police Musa Aman.

At a press conference in Kuala Lumpur today, Phang mocked Musa, saying the allegation has painted him as someone with “supernatural powers” and capable of influencing transfers within the police force.

NONE“I deny that I have caused this officer’s transfer within 24 hours,” said Phang(left), adding that he does not know to whom Musa was referring. 

Musa told a press conference on Monday that Phang had threatened the police officer for refusing his request to commission an upgraded police communications system under a project with Motorola Technology Sdn Bhd in 2009.

Musa claimed that when officer refused to do so, he was transferred within 24 hours.

Phang, who is an independent adviser with Motorola Technology, clarified that he was only appointed in 2009, after the deal was secured and that he had no hand in it.
'Award of contract nothing to do with me'
“How (the deal was) secured is none of my business. I was appointed in 2009... The award of the contract had nothing to do with Robert Phang's contribution,” he said. 

It was later pointed out to Phang that he had attended a press conference by Motorola Technology in February 2008, when the company announced further investments in Malaysia.

NONEPhang maintained that he had no official links with the company at that time.

To another question, he said he was both the company adviser and a member of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) advisory panel at the same time, but that there was no conflict of interest.

He voluntarily resigned from the MACC advisory panel in January 2011 after being accused - in an anonymous blog - of bribing a public official, but was cleared of this by the MACC last August.
