Rafizi Ramli has furnished a document that he claims proves Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Minister Hasan Malek's involvement in Bank Rakyat's management matters.
The PKR strategy director also claimed that the document showed the special treatment accorded to carpet trader Deepak Jaikishan by the bank.
At a press conference at the National Oversight and Whistleblowers (NOW) centre today, Rafizi said the 13 documents given to the NGO involved official letters as well as internal memos between Bank Rakyat and Hasan.
"The documents show how exorbitant the amount of Deepak's debt with Bank Rakyat is," added the Pandan MP, who promised to expose more documents on the matter in coming days.
Contacted later, Hasan told Malaysiakini that he would issue a statement on the allegations after discussing the matter with relevant parties.
Document is a letter from Hasan to bank
The document revealed today is a letter, purportedly from Hassan to a high-ranking bank officers to give special treatment to Deepak.
The letter also states that a meeting took place between Hasan, the Bank Rakyat officer and Deepak on Jan 30 this year.
It also urges Bank Rakyat to postpone any legal action to be taken against Deepak and for the remaining debt of RM32 million to be settled through a monthly payment of RM270,000 for a maximum of 10 years.
"The monthly payment will be made through 120 post-dated cheques for the amount of RM32 million, effective from January 2014.
"Legal action will be taken if the post-dated cheques fail to be paid," Rafizi said.
PAS information chief Mahfuz Omar (right) said on Monday that Deepak's loan with Bank Rakyat was not only limited to RM32 million, but that he also has two more loans totalling RM215 million.
The Pokok Sena MP also claimed that Deepak failed to settle all three of the loans in question, leading to a settlement agreement with the bank.
Meanwhile, Rafizi also confirmed that the RM32 million loan was not the only loan Deepak has with Bank Rakyat.
"The other loans combined will come to a few hundred million ringgit and that's a lot, since he only sells carpets," Rafizi said.
The well-known whistleblower also said that a report would be made against Hasan with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) on Friday.
Another report would also be lodged against a senior Bank Rakyat officer at the Commercial Crimes Investigations Department at Bukit Aman, also on Friday, Rafizi added.
Malaysiakini has contacted Deepak over the allegations and is awaiting his response.
