KUALA LUMPUR:
A community organisation, Pertubuhan Penggerak Komuniti Negara Malaysia (PKN) has lodged a police report against Perak DAP Youth leader Steven Chaw over his allegations that the organisation received a government allocation of RM8.6 million.

PKN chairman Nor Hizwan Ahmad said the report was made following an article in a media portal quoting Chaw as saying that the organisation had allegedly received the fund and each committee member would get RM780,000.

“I vehemently deny the claims. I believe the same slander and lies have been circulated in many social media (sites) seeking to tarnish our reputation. I suspect the action was perpetrated following the Dewan Rakyat speech by the opposition chief (Anwar Ibrahim) linking the funds with PKN.

“It was then used as an opposition political capital to tarnish the effort of PKN, as an NGO, to help society,” he said after lodging a police report at the Wangsa Maju district police headquarters here.

Wangsa Maju district police chief Rajab Ahad Ismail when contacted by Bernama confirmed receiving the report.
