Mohan must reveal details of ‘missing’ funds

The MIC Youth chief is accused of having a hand in the RM100,000 which allegedly went missing from the collections done at a charity dinner. But the treasurer rubbishes the claim.


KUALA LUMPUR : MIC Youth chief T Mohan must reveal details of a fund collected through a charity dinner held on December, 2010, as some RM100,000 has “simply disappeared”.In making the call, former MIC Youth public complaints bureau head R Ramanan said he was ready to reveal the “abuses” in the “Zuna Night” collection but on condition that Mohan and MIC Youth treasurer J Dhinakaran vacate their positions immediately.

He said the issue had been raised numerous time but Mohan’s silence on the matter was deafening, indicating that something was not right with the accounts of the fund.He said that the fund raising dinner was organised by the Youth wing with the expenses fully borne by Human Resources Minister Dr S Subramaniam.

“I found out that the Youth wing managed to collect RM400,000. My sources tell me that about RM100,000 from the RM400,000 simply vanished from the accounts,” he told FMT today.

Ramanan was sacked as Youth public complaints bureau head by Mohan in February this year. He is also the Bandar Syed Putra MIC Youth chief.

He said that Mohan must be held responsible for the fiasco and should provide detailed accounts of the monies spent.

“If Mohan and his cronies are not guilty, why are they still refusing to divulge details of the accounts. The main purpose of the fund raising dinner was to use the money collected to help and assist Indian youths. But to date they have not even held a single event for this purpose,” he added.

Ramanan said since he brought up the issue in the media, he had received several threatening phone calls and had made a police report on this.

“I believe the caller was not satisfied with my statements published in a Tamil daily against Mohan,” he said.

Meanwhile, Dhinakaran said Ramanan was childish to make such baseless allegations without proof.

“I gave him seven days, starting last Friday, to prove his claim. If he does not, then we will drag him to court for defaming us,” he told FMT.

He however admitted that the fund raising dinner accounts had “yet to be fully audited.”
