Bera PKR division chief Zakaria Abdul Hamid wants the party’s disciplinary board to take action against Perak party chief Farhash Wafa Salvador Rizal Mubarak.
This is over a riot in Ampang on Aug 31, in which a police report was lodged claiming Farhash had assaulted an individual.
Zakaria, who is also an Azmin Ali-aligned PKR central leadership member, said this was not the first time Farhash had been accused of a criminal act.
“This arrogant behaviour, which disrespects the law, should stop immediately as it affects the party and the president’s (Anwar Ibrahim) good name.
“As such, I urge there to be an immediate investigation by the disciplinary board without fear or favour, and stern action needs to be taken to safeguard the (party’s) honour and ensure all members have good personalities,” he said.
Farhash, who is also Anwar’s political secretary, had previously been arrested in July and investigated over the sex video implicating Azmin.
Now wanted for questioning by the police over an alleged armed assault incident, Farhash has now claimed that his accuser attempted to sexually assault his wife two years ago.
Farhash said the police report lodged by the complainant over the incident, which took place in Ampang, had actually named his brother and not him.
“A police report naming my brother was made. However, I am willing to give my full cooperation if needed.
“I would also like to draw everyone’s attention to the fact that the complainant once attempted to rape and sexually assaulted my wife two years ago. He was arrested and faced trial for the charges,” Farhash said in a statement today.
Yesterday, police urged Farhash to turn himself in to assist an ongoing police investigation on the matter.
Selangor CID chief SAC Fadzil Ahmat said yesterday 12 to 14 men were involved in the Merdeka eve incident in Ampang, Selangor, where the suspect is alleged to have shoved the complainant in the face upon seeing him.
After being told to leave by the sports complex management, the complainant supposedly went to the motorcycle parking area outside where he was attacked with knives, helmets and chairs by 10 men, resulting in injuries.
Farhash was yesterday quoted as stating that the viral message circulated claiming that he was involved in a fight, is slander against him by his political opponents, and that people had been “paid to slander” him.
PKR’s political bureau is meeting tonight, and the incident involving Farhash could be one of the topics discussed.
