MACC CHIEF DROPS SHOCK BOMBSHELL: ‘SOMEONE FROM NAJIB’S ADMINISTRATION FOLLOWED ME ALL THE WAY TO THE U.S. BECAUSE OF SRC SCANDAL, I FLED TO NEW YORK WHERE I RECEIVED PROTECTION FROM 3 NYPD BODYGUARDS’

PUTRAJAYA – New Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner today revealed the challenges he had to endure while probing SRC International Sdn Bhd.

“There was even a point I was threatened to get fired for investigating the case,” said Datuk Seri Mohd Shukri Abdull, during a tell-all session to the press since he took office yesterday.

He then explained he was followed all the way to the United States by a personnel from formerprime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s administration in July that year.

Mohd Shukri explained that during that period, tensions were high back home, as then Attorney General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail had just been relieved of his duties by ex-PM Najib.

Mohd Shukri headed to United States to seek temporary safe haven, but he even there he felt unsafe.

He then related how he had to spread lies that he was on a plane to Saudi Arabia, for fear of being followed, when instead he boarded a flight to the United States.

“There were people waiting to arrest me in Jeddah if I had landed there, but instead I flew to Washington,” he said.

“I reached Washington DC and me and my team noticed I was being followed by someone,” he said.

Mohd Shukri explained how he and his team took photos of the person and immediately alerted the then Inspector General of Police to track the person that followed him.

“I didn’t feel safe in Washington, so I boarded a train to New York, where I met a friend working with the New York Police Department (NYPD).

“Once there, I received protection in the form of three bodyguards from the NYPD and then only I felt safe, before returning to Washington,” he said.

Mohd Shukri said he had also received text threats that were directly sent to him via Whatsapp, while some were sent to his then boss, Tan Sri Abu Kassim Mohamed.
