Former deputy prime minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi today denied any link to a purported scam that allegedly took in more than RM185 million from Nepali workers over a five-year period.
The opposition leader refuted a Nepali Times news report, which claimed that a member of his family profited from a contract to handle the applications of workers from Nepal wanting to enter Malaysia.
Bestinet Sdn Bhd is said to have been set up by his brother-in-law Amin Abdul Nor.
"I do not have a brother-in-law by the name of Amin. I did not get a single sen from the company, and the company existed even before I joined Home Ministry," said the former minister.
"I am prepared to be probed, I am prepared to be slapped with all the evidence, if my family and I were involved.
"Please, conduct an investigation against me," Zahid told members of the media at Parliament lobby.
