(Daily Express) - Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Haji Aman has shot down a Malaysia Today Internet website report linking him to a businessman arrested in Hong Kong last Thursday for alleged money trafficking and laundering.
"I would like to stress here (that) I have no political (and) financial connection with this person," he said when asked to comment. "He's not my nominee and I have no nominee," he said when told that the report alleged that the man was a proxy for the Chief Minister. When asked if he knew the person named in the report, he said: "I know him (and) as a Chief Minister of Sabah I meet a lot of friends and I have many friends". Malaysia Today quoted a close source of the Hong Kong police and Interpol that they had monitored the person's activities for three years. The report stated that the businessman who was reported to have had his Malaysian passport impounded was nabbed together with Singapore currency worth a total RM16 million inside his luggage while trying to board a flight to Kuala Lumpur at the Chek Lap Kok Airport.
