PKR's Kota Raja division chief Dr Xavier Jayakumar has vehemently denied claims that he attempted to bribe the party's election committee, describing it as "character assassination".
"It is hearsay with absolutely no proof. I totally deny that I have been involved in money politics.
"These are people trying to instigate and point fingers (at others) in the election process," he said when contacted.
Jayakumar (right) was referring to a complaint letter by PKR activist Badrul Hisham Shaharin to the party leadership accusingJayakumar of money politics, reported by Malaysiakini today.
Jayakumar said he has instructed his lawyers to take the necessary action over the allegation.
"It is a malicious attack, it's bad politics and bad reporting with no truth to it...time will prove that this is all a malicious attempt," he said.
The letter was directed to PKR president Wan Azizah Wan Ismail and PKR disciplinary committee board chairperson Tan Kee Kwong.
Jayakumar did not earlier respond to Malaysiakini's calls or text messages.
