KFA corruption drama: Sanusi alleges corruption allegations aim to target him

Kedah MB denies any wrongdoing by Kedah Football Association and the four people remanded by MACC

KUALA LUMPUR – Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor claims that he is the real target behind the alleged corruption plot in the Kedah Football Association (KFA).

Sanusi, who is also KFA president, claimed that the arrest of four individuals, including the KFA chief executive officer, by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), was all just an accessory, fabricated to persecute everyone, including him.

“All this is just an accessory. I’m the real target here. They have been trying for months but have not found anything on me.

“What do you people want – the truth or to persecute people?

“You all know the truth: Sanusi has no corruption case, but you are trying to cook up something.

“All this is done to create a bad narrative about the Kedah administration that it is corrupted,” he said in a video posted on his Facebook account today.

Sanusi has also denied that there is any element of corruption in KFA and the four individuals remanded by MACC.

The donation in question, he said, did not amount to RM6 million as reported previously.

“They have not been found guilty of anything. The money went into KFA’s account, not even their personal account.

“So why treat them like accused? They were summoned to assist in the investigation, but what case are they investigating if there is no corruption?

“The MACC had asked about a RM6 million donation, but the actual donation amount is about RM5 million.

“The money was donated to KFA, but suddenly they are accused of corruption. What kind of corruption is it, since the money is still in the KFA coffers and we used it to pay off debts? So where is the corruption here?

“Other people should be investigated, not them. Only one person is managing KFA among the four of them, while the rest have no connection with KFA at all,” he said.

On whether he has been contacted by MACC to record his statement over the ongoing probe, Sanusi said the commission has yet to contact him.

“I am willing to cooperate. Just bring on the questions; I want to answer them,” he said.

On Friday, it was reported that the MACC had remanded KFA chief executive officer Zulkifli Che Haron and three individuals, including two consultants aged between 40 and 60 years, to assist in the investigation of a case involving solicitation and acceptance of bribes amounting to RM6 million.

The alleged corrupt funds were believed to be a reward for helping a company owner secure construction project tenders for a racecourse and projects to manage, operate, and maintain five water retention facilities in Kedah. – January 8, 2023
