Deepak to write to AG to seek immunity
Controversial carpet trader Deepak Jaikishan will apply to the Attorney-General’s Chambers for immunity from prosecution, to prevent any fallout following revelations he plans to make concerning a cheating case involving a top Malaysian leader.
He said he decided on the move after listening to advise from PAS leadership during a meeting with them at the PAS headquarters this morning.
During the meeting, PAS was of the opinion “there is no need for a guarantee of immunity” as the safety of a witness is already guaranteed under the Whistleblower Protection Act 2010.
“I am seeking PAS’s help as I will not get any help under the Najib (Abdul Razak) government.
“I am following the suggestion given (by PAS). I will write a letter to the attorney-general (AG) and hope he will respond immediately,” Deepak said during a press conference.
Also present at the press conference today were PAS vice-president Mahfuz Omar, lawyer Asmuni Awi, PAS deputy secretary general Syed Azman Syed Ahmad Nawawi dan Kuala Selangor MP Dzulkefly Ahmad.
