Nijhar: Alleged transaction never took place

The Malay Mail,

KUALA LUMPUR: Former MIC vice-president Tan Sri K.S. Nijhar has denied an allegation against him by sacked MIC deputy Youth chief V. Mugilan that the money transferred to MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu's Credit Suisse account in Singapore was done through NKM Holdings — a company that Nijhar used to chair.

"I know for a fact that this alleged transaction never took place," Nijhar told The Malay Mail yesterday.

It was reported that Mugilan, who is the mastermind of the Anti-Samy Vellu Movement (GAS), had received several documents from an anonymous party on June 7, among which was a telegraphic transfer statement that 'proves' Samy Vellu had a total of US$815,900 (RM2.7million) in his Credit Suisse account as of 1982.

Mugilan said the money was transferred to the account under the alias of Dr Stansilau Van-Velau Sitten on Sept 18, 1982, through NKM Holdings. Nijhar was NKM Holdings' chairman and director.

Nijhar added that the document upon which Mugilan has made this allegation is a fabrication.

"A check with the related bank and other authoritative institutions will prove that Mugilan is not only a liar but also a 'stupid liar' because his allegations were based on an anonymous letter and he called for a Press conference to announce these allegations," he said.

Nijhar also challenged Mugilan to lodge a police report on the basis of the said document failing which legal action would be taken to clear his name.

"Once Mugilan has lodged a complaint to the police, he will be trapped like 'an animal in a cage', after which I will lodge a police report against him for making such allegations as well as lodging a police report knowingly on the basis of fabricated documents," he said, adding that fabricating evidence is a very serious offence.

At a Press conference on June 10, Mugilan said GAS will either be lodging a police report or be sending a memorandum to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) by this week to urge the authorities to investigate Samy Vellu's alleged accumulation of money in his Credit Suisse account.

He then urged the government to set up a Cabinet committee to investigate the matter as well as to impound the money in the account and to distribute the money to Maika shareholders.

Mugilan also wanted the debts of AIMST University to be paid off with the money and loans given to students under the Maju Institute of Education Development (MIED) to be converted into scholarships.

Apart from the telegraphic transfer statement, a copy of a MACC report, dated Feb 9, 2010, which alleged Samy Vellu's misappropriation of RM800,000 from the MIED account, was also sent to Mugilan's house in Rawang, Selangor.

Also attached with the document was a note saying that more of such documents will be delivered to him after he makes the current ones public.
