Umno Youth exco backs out of lodging police report
Armand Azha Abu Hanifah says he had been given false information about two businessmen whom he had earlier said were involved in an alleged plot to topple the prime minister
(FMT) – Umno Youth Exco member Armand Azha Abu Hanifah today backed out of lodging a police report against the son of a local tycoon and a corporate figure, after finding out the information he had was false.
Speaking to reporters outside the Dang Wangi police headquarters this morning, Armand said he had only found out that the information he had been given about the duo’s involvement in an alleged plot to topple Prime Minister Najib Razak was bogus after checking with multiple sources.
“This is not a publicity stunt. If something is not genuine, we don’t report it, because it is irresponsible.
“I cannot elaborate on the matter, the document is a fake. If we lodge a police report, we will look stupid,” he said, referring to a seven-page document, he had previously claimed, contained details of the duo providing financial assistance to plotters aiming to topple Najib.
