Conglomerate UEM Group Bhd has denied allegations in a widely circulated photograph which implied that it had paid a PKR politician.
In a statement today, the company said it does not have an account with Maybank's Kuala Lumpur main branch nor an account with the number specified in the photograph.
The company said it had lodged a police report and will cooperate with the authorities to clear its name.
UEM Group is wholly-owned by Khazanah Nasional Bhd.
According to the widely shared photograph made to look like a bank transfer receipt, the company had purportedly transferred US$741,440 (approximately RM3 million at today's rate) in Dec 19, 2017 to a Swiss bank account held by Economic Affairs Minister Azmin Ali.
Malaysiakini attempted to transfer a small sum to the purported UEM Group bank account, but was unsuccessful because the number stated in the photograph had an extra digit.
Over the past 24 hours, the viral image was shared alongside three video clips purportedly depicting Azmin and Muhammad Haziq Abdul Aziz naked in bed.
Haziq claimed that the video was recorded on May 11 without his consent.
He also demanded that the authorities investigate Azmin for corruption.
Earlier, Azmin had responded to the allegations stating he was the victim of a "nefarious plot" to tarnish his name and ruin his career. - Mkini
