"I Don't Know," Says PM Of Minister Alleged To Be Corrupt

PENANG, July 8 (Bernama) -- Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said today he does not know who the senior cabinet minister is who has been accused of being corrupt in a memorandum submitted to the Prime Minister's Office.

The Prime Minister said he was informed of the memorandum handed to his office by Ezam Mohd Nor, chairman of the Movement for Democracy and Anti-Corruption (Gerak), and that he would study it.

"I was informed about the memorandum and I will study it," he told reporters after launching an environment awareness campaign.

Asked who was the minister alleged to be corrupt, Abdullah said: "I don't know".

On June 29, Ezam, who is also former Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) youth chief, submitted to Abdullah's office a document which Ezam claimed also contained allegations of criminal breach of trust and misappropriation involving the minister.

Copies of two police reports lodged against the minister were also submitted with the 632-page document, according to Ezam.

kzso : "I DON'T KNOW" that's the typical answer from our beloved ydp pm. We should understand that our ydp pm is just plain busy or waiting from kj or 4th floor advice and has no time to read anything (but still have time to play golf huh). We're lucky that he did not shift into his 'ELEGANCE SILENCE' mode or say to the reporters "I'M NOT INVOLVED" or the memorandum was passed to kj and now on kj's table or kj has read them and now using this infos for his political bullets and benefits.
