Police have not received complaint against Badrul

(The Star) – Police will investigate the allegation that Port Klang assemblyman Badrul Hisham Abdullah had misappropriated his allocation as an elected representative if a report is lodged.

Selangor police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Khalid Abdul Bakar said, however, police have not received any official complaint so far.

“We will look into it or forward the case to Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to investigate if a report is lodged,” he said after opening the Twin Baby (KL) Sdn Bhd’s one-stop baby centre in Bandar Botanic yesterday.

On Saturday, PAS division chief Ismail Arsat was reported as saying that Badrul Hisham had already spent RM200,000 of his RM500,000 allocation for elected representatives. However, he claimed that it was not known how the money had been spent, adding that the Port Klang constituents had not benefited from it.

Last Thursday, Badrul Hisham told a press conference that he had quit PKR but would remain an independent and will support the Barisan Nasional.

Yesterday, in Port Klang, some 100 people, including Pakatan Rakyat leaders and Port Klang constituents, held a 45-minute protest with a banner “Tak Nak Katak” (No to frog), asking Badrul Hisham to step down as assemblyman.
