He said the party would decide on the next course of action and whether the information should be handed over to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Agency (MACC).
“Most probably, the matter will be brought up at the party level tomorrow night.”
Rafizi’s WhatsApp message, on alleged demands for money and women when dealing with the Selangor Government, was leaked from a closed group of party members and Reformasi supporters.
In a statement on Friday, Rafizi had confirmed that the graft allegation was specific in nature, but it was not against any elected representative or government officer in any department of the state government.
Rafizi said the leaked WhatsApp message was a reminder to all that talk on graft should not be taken lightly.
“That has been my constant reminder to the party.”
Asked if he had proof of the alleged graft in Selangor, he said: “When I say I have proof, there are many.”
He said there were some who had pointed out that the timing of the issue was not right.
He said the public was smart enough to judge the issues highlighted and tackled.
The Pandan MP also said he would not take action against the person who leaked his WhatsApp message as what was stated in private should also be stated in public.
“I will say exactly the same thing outside and inside (the party). Sometimes, it is taken out of context. But that is something we can clarify,” he told reporters outside Parliament lobby today.
Rafizi said when a person held office, he should acknowledge that whatever was written could be leaked to the public.
He was aware that his stand on certain issues was different from others.
“My stand on what is right and wrong may be different from others. I believe party members need to be seen to be whiter than white.
“If not, how are we different from Barisan Nasional or Umno?”
He said it was important how one conducted oneself while in office and it should not be open to any speculation.
“Or when such speculations arise and if we do not provide a good answer, we’ll be no different from (how they handle) the 1MDB issue,” he said.
Rafizi said due to that, he had maintained all along that the party needed to tackle the complaints received from public.
“If they disagree (with me), they better tell me. There are some complaints the party must look into.
“I don’t want the party to say that there have been complaints, but there was no proof and so no action can be taken.”
