A crime watch group helmed by former inspector general of police Tan Sri Musa Hassan today lodged a report with Malaysia Anti Corruption Commission urging the agency to investigate MyWatch chairman R. Sri Sanjeevan’s purchase of two VIP plate numbers worth about RM300,000.
Malaysia Community Crime Care secretary-general Halim Ishak said the report was a follow-up to a police report lodged on Monday urging police to investigate Sanjeevan for sedition.
“The report with MACC is to ask the agency to probe how Sanjeevan managed to come up with the amount of money to purchase two number plates that are worth more than RM300,000. He was only a hotel manager,” said Halim, who lodged the report with the MACC in Putrajaya today.
On the police report made on Monday, Halim said it was in reference to a series of tweets by Sanjeevan on serious allegations made against senior police officials and former senior officials whose names were not mentioned.
“As a person claiming to be the chairman of a crime watch group, he should be able to state the facts right and reveal who is this person he was referring to. If not it would look only as if he wanted to create hatred against the police force,” said Halim.
He said the public would also like to know who is this former inspector general of police who killed a Chinese man alleged by Sanjeevan in a tweet, and the former IGP who is allegedly in cahoots with triads and has assets and wealth in Singapore.
“If he doesn't know the names of the former IGPs, they are Tun Hanif Omar, Tan Sri Abdul Rahim Noor, Tan Sri Norian Mai, Tan Sri Ismail Omar and Tan Sri Musa Hassan. So which one was he referring to?” said Halim.
He said that the decision to lodge reports with police and MACC was made by the committee who felt that Sanjeevan should be investigated on the tweets for seditious content and the funds to purchase such expensive number plates.
Musa was MyWatch advisor last year but later decided to pull out from the group and formed his own non-governmental organisation.
MyWatch chairman R. Sri Sanjeevan paid close to RM340,000 for two coveted 'BMW' number plates last year.
According to a photograph which went viral on Twitter and instant messaging app WhatsApp, Sanjeevan purchased BMW8 and BMW11 plates for RM174,776 and RM165,000 respectively.
The photograph also shows the successful bidders for the numbers 1 to 12 bearing the BMW prefix, which is for cars registered with the Selangor Road Transport Department.
The BMW number plate series was open to public tender at JPJ offices nationwide from August 14 till August 28.
Sanjeevan, in response to critics, said he bought the number plates for investment purposes and had the financial means to buy them.
He said he has had a long career in the hotel line before starting the crime watchdog group in 2012.
Due to the buzz around his purchase, Sanjeevan told the media that he would give up BMW8 plate for RM500,000 and donate RM100,000 to charities.
Halim said that Sanjeevan also has to clarify how he was still MyWatch chairman when he has not held an annual general meeting since the NGO was established few years ago.
“The former secretary-general for the group still has its name there in the Registrar of Societies when the fact is he is no longer with MyWatch. The things I mentioned here are already against RoS regulations. So this should also be investigated,” said Halim.
