Perak Menteri Besar Ahmad Faizal Azumu (above) views seriously the incident of Bersatu grassroots leaders selling off cows he donated for sacrifice to purchase equipment for the party.
This is according to Ahmad Faizal's political secretary Iskandar Dzulkarnain Abdul Khalid, who issued the statement on behalf of the menteri besar following an MACC report being lodged over the incident.
"He (menteri besar) regrets that two of three cows, which were his personal contribution and should have been distributed to the poor and people of Bagan Datuk, was allegedly sold for other purposes.
"Following the report yesterday, the menteri besar leaves the matter to the authorities to look into it and take the appropriate action," he said.
Yesterday, Bersatu member Bahaman Tokiran lodged a MACC report against Bagan Datuk chief Abdul Malik Karim, his deputy Mohd Robion and vice chief Zul Azni Karimin.
This is after they sold two out of three cows donated by Ahmad Faisal in order to purchase equipment, including a laptop and printer, and settle arrears for the Bersatu division's office.
Abdul Malik had admitted that the cows were sold last year as Bersatu at the time had lacked funds.
"There was no computer when we first opened the division office. We only had tables and chairs. We were unable to carry out (party) work without a computer.
"After selling the cows, the money was given to the treasurer who bought a computer, and the computer is still with us today," he had said. - Mkini
