Rembau MP Khairy Jamaluddin has vowed to lodge a police and MACC report against former finance minister Najib Abdul Razak and Finance Ministry officials.
This is over a claim by present Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng in Parliament that the previous BN administration had "stolen" RM18 billion in GST refunds.
Taking to Twitter, Khairy said he wanted Lim's statement to be thoroughly "investigated and substantiated" beyond an internal inquiry by the Finance Ministry.
"I do not think an internal inquiry by the Finance Ministry is sufficient when a serious allegation of misappropriation or 'rompakan' (robbery) has occurred. Since Lim is not keen on anything beyond an internal inquiry for now, I would like to nudge this along in the public’s interest.
"Later today and tomorrow I will be lodging a report with the police and the MACC against former top officials of the Finance Ministry at the material time the allegation took place.
"This is so that an open investigation can take place to ascertain the veracity of Lim's expose," he wrote in a series on tweets.
Khairy said that his report to the authorities would also be against top Finance Ministry officials and the "then minister" - which can only be Najib.
Khairy later released a statement saying he would be lodging the police report at 2pm today at the Sentul district police station before holding a press conference at Parliament.
