KUALA LUMPUR:
The Malaysian Malay Network Organisation (JMM) handed over a 24-page secret document to police today, believed to contain evidence that suggests the involvement of a Malaysian businessman and billionaire George Soros in funding the Bersih movement.

JMM president Azwanddin Hamzah said the donation channelled to Bersih was made via the Open Society Foundations (OSF) led by Soros.

“This is solid and valid evidence, not crafted. Therefore, we ask the police to investigate the businessman and to take action against him because this is treason.

“They have malicious intent and work together to topple the government and Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak,” he told reporters after lodging a police report and handing over the document at the Dang Wangi police headquarters here today.

Azwanddin confirmed that the document also contained the amount of money received by the movement.

“The 24-page document also involves the communications between the two (the Malaysian businessman and Soros), how to execute their planning and what kind of funds to be channelled into the country.

“Bersih is seen as trying to topple the government through its rallies.

This should be viewed seriously and has to be blocked,” he said, adding that the Malaysian businessman was now one of the board members of OSF, a foundation set up by Soros in 1993.

Azwanddin said JMM obtained the document from several quarters domestically and abroad.

In addition, he said JMM would submit a memorandum to the Inland Revenue Board tomorrow urging the agency to probe several opposition leaders including those in Bersih whose nett worth were doubtful.

Yesterday, several local media reported that a foreign movement, helmed by Soros, was funding several local organisations in its bid to strategise on winning the upcoming general election in the country.

Bersih is a movement that calls for electoral reforms in Malaysia.
