Rafizi: I have inside info about Mara deals

MP to reveal contents of internal document that gives fuller picture of property transactions

KUALA LUMPUR: The MP for Pandan, Rafizi Ramli, is to reveal more details about the controversial Mara property purchase in Australia on Tuesday.

In a media statement this evening, Rafizi said he was in possession of an internal Mara document that provided extensive and important information about Mara’s involvement in property deals.

He said he would conduct a media conference on Tuesday, one of a series, to give a full picture of Mara dealings.

Mara Inc, a subsidiary of the rural development agency, was implicated in a newspaper report in Melbourne about the purchase of an apartment building at an inflated price for use as a hostel for university students.

The Age newspaper reported that RM13.8 million was overpaid for Dudley House by “a group of super-rich officials” and the money used for kickbacks.
