Businessperson Daing A Malek Daing Rahaman has denied allegations linking him to the purchase of a luxury mansion in Alpine, New Jersey, in the US, which is alleged to have ties to Rosmah Mansor.
The property is reportedly located on Margo Way, an ultra-exclusive enclave in the affluent borough that is home to some of the wealthiest individuals in the US.
The allegations were made by an X user named Mark Lansvin in a video shared on the social media platform.
The viral post, citing unnamed sources, alleged that the property valued at about US$13 million (RM53 million) was purchased on July 30, 2025, at the direction of and using funds provided by Rosmah, the wife of jailed former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak.
It further alleged that Rosmah's son-in-law, Daniyar Kessikbayev, was listed as the buyer.
In response to this, Rosmah's lawyer Firoz Hussein Ahmad Jamaluddin told Malaysiakini that she has lodged a police report regarding the allegations.
"She has made a police report. It will be circulated soon.
"Report made today," Firoz said when contacted.
Alleged shareholder
The X post also claimed that the property was transferred in May to Daran Investments Capital Inc, a British Virgin Islands-registered company, through a confidential declaration of trust, and alleged that Daing was a shareholder in the company who is listed on record.
It also alleged that US authorities were tracing the money trail through proxies.
Bernama reported that Daing called the allegations “gravely misleading”.
“All the allegations that relate to me in the publication are false, baseless, defamatory and gravely misleading. I categorically, unequivocally and without reservation deny each and every statement in the publication as far as the same are directed at me.
“The allegations against me are wholly untrue. The publication, circulation and recirculation of the false statements are wrongful and have caused serious injury to my reputation, character and personal integrity.
“All persons are placed on notice that the making, publication, republication, forwarding, sharing of the false statements will expose them to legal liability and criminal prosecution,” he was quoted as saying in a statement last night.
Don’t spread allegation
He also reportedly cautioned the public against relying on, repeating or further circulating the allegations, and warned that any continued dissemination would be treated as a further publication of defamatory material.
“I expressly reserve all rights and remedies in law, including the right to commence proceedings against persons responsible for the publication of criminal and defamatory statements.
“I will not hesitate to take necessary action against the perpetrators responsible for the publication and its republication or circulation by whatever means,” he added.
He said a police report has also been lodged, and that investigations, including efforts to identify those responsible for the publication and its circulation, are underway. - Mkini
