KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Police Commissioner Hamza Taib has dismissed insinuation of wrongdoings by his allegedly “jobless” son Mohammad Azhan.
Malaysian Crime Watch Task Force (MyWatch) chief R Sri Sanjeevan had earlier this week questioned Mohammad Azhan’s ownership of two luxury cars allegedly bought by cash when he was unempoyed.
But Hamzah speaking to reporters here said: “How can anyone say my son is jobless when he is a director in several companies and owns several firms in Kuala Lumpur?”
Hamzah said his son, Mohammad Azhan, 30, had read law at the International Islamic University while his daughter-in-law was also a qualified lawyer.
“They are living at my house in Kuala Lumpur so they don’t have to worry about housing loans,” Hamzah said.
He was clarifying claims by Sanjeevan that “unemployed” Mohamad Azhan had bought two luxury cars last year – a Jaguar XF and an Audi A5.
The cars with a combined costs of RM1.1 million was allegedly purchased with cash.
Without naming Mohammad Azhan, Sanjeevan had reportedly questioned the source of the former’s “extraordinary wealth”.
“According to MyWatch investigation, the last time he was employed was in 2008.
“We also have a banking transaction note to him from a weapons company in East Malaysia,” he said.
MyWatch has urged Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to investigate the source of Mohammad Azhan’s income.
“I want a detailed investigation to be carried out immediately on the source of his funds and how he managed to acquire various assets at such a young age as he is unempoyed.
“I will be lodging a report with MACC next week,” Sanjeevan said.
But Hamzah dismissed Sanjeevan’s allegations.
He said to the best of his knowledge his son’s activities were above board and the two luxury cars in question were reconditioned vehicles and cheaper that new ones.
