Entrepreneur Datuk Seri Farhash Wafa Salvador Rizal Mubarak has denied rumours connecting him to the attack on Pandan MP Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli’s son.
According to Malaysiakini, the former political secretary to Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim responded to the allegations with a single word: “Crazy.”
This follows Rafizi’s statement that two men on a motorcycle, dressed in black and wearing helmets, had tailed his wife’s car before grabbing his son and stabbing him with a syringe.
Rafizi revealed yesterday that a group of whistleblowers had approached him last week with information on a scandal, alleging that the attack was intended to deter him from pursuing the matter. He described it as a strategy to make him drop the case entirely.
Police are investigating a possible link between the incident and Rafizi’s work. He said his son will undergo repeated blood tests over six months to rule out drugs, poison, or viral infections.
Selangor police chief Datuk Shazeli Kahar confirmed that security measures for Rafizi have been tightened following the incident.
Farhash, formerly Perak PKR chief, lost the contest for Gombak PKR division chief in 2022 to Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari.
He is, or has been, a director and/or shareholder in at least ten private companies, including MMAG Holdings Bhd, HeiTech Padu Bhd, 7-Eleven Malaysia Holdings Bhd, Apex Equity Holdings Bhd, Berjaya Construction Bhd, and Pacific Samudera Sdn Bhd.
