Former youth and sports minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman has lodged a police report after losing an estimated RM250,000 from a safe in his Petaling Jaya home.
According to the Muar MP's report, the money was discovered missing at around 7pm on Saturday.
"The last time I opened the safe was on March 13 or March 14.
"There was no sign that the safe was forced open, and the house and room area remained tidy," he said in the report lodged last night.
Malay-daily Berita Harian earlier today quoted a source who claimed that Syed Saddiq had allegedly said the money belonged to a political party.
It was also reported that the police picked up an Indonesian woman who worked as a maid in the house yesterday to facilitate the investigation.
In a press statement, Syed Saddiq, however, denied that the missing money belonged to Bersatu.
"At this point, I cannot confirm any details or speculations pending completion of investigations.
"Media reports that the RM250,000 belonged to Bersatu is untrue [...]," he said.
"I hope that all parties will refrain from making any speculations and spreading false news to the public," he added.
Meanwhile, Petaling Jaya district police chief Nik Ezanee Mohd Faisal confirmed the incident.
"I confirm that there is a report lodged. Investigating under Section 380 of the Penal Code.
"We have detained the maid to assist with investigations," Nik Ezanee said, adding that he was at the scene last night with a forensics team for initial investigations. - Mkini
