According to the Borneo Post, Peter said his company received a certificate confirming it had completed the contract from UMS in compliance with all rules and scope of work stipulated in the agreement.
UMS had also stated that the work carried out was to its satisfaction, he said at a press conference at the Warisan office yesterday.
“I strongly deny the allegations that have gone viral on social media that I am being investigated by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) for making false claims.
“We have never made any false claims and all payments, including the certificate confirming the completion of the contract from UMS, have been received, so there is no question of us making a false claim,” he was reported as saying.
Slamming the allegations as attempts to smear his reputation, Peter said the contract was part of a government project, and that the government had offered the deal, not his company.
“Therefore, any problems should be referred to the government or UMS,” he said in the report.
He said whenever his company forwarded a claim to the government, the government’s own engineers assessed it and a committee would evaluate all work done before giving its approval.
Although he acknowledged that he had been under investigation for nearly two years over the matter, Peter said if an offence had been committed, the government or agency concerned should initiate legal action.
Given that UMS had issued the certificate of completion, he also requested that the MACC return the company’s documents it took previously, as his company had committed no wrongdoing.
“For us, there is no problem except we do not know what the motive was behind all the allegations. We will look into aspects of the law on this and advice from my lawyer on what legal action we can take on this matter,” he was quoted as saying.
