Controversial carpet trader Deepak Jaikishan will apply to the
Attorney-General’s Chambers for protection under the Whistleblower
Protection Act 2010, to prevent any fallout following revelations he
plans to make concerning a cheating case involving a top Malaysian
leader.

said he decided on the move after listening to advise from PAS
leadership during a meeting with them at the PAS headquarters this
morning.
During the meeting, he said PAS informed him there is no need for a guarantee of immunity as the safety of a witness is already guaranteed under the Act.
“I am seeking PAS’s help as I will not get any help under the Najib (Abdul Razak) government.
“I am following the suggestion given (by PAS). I will write a letter to the attorney-general (AG) and hope he will respond immediately,” Deepak said during a press conference.
Also present at the press conference today were PAS vice-president Mahfuz Omar, lawyer Asmuni Awi, PAS deputy secretary general Syed Azman Syed Ahmad Nawawi dan Kuala Selangor MP Dzulkefly Ahmad.
PKR director of strategy Rafizi Ramli had previously said that Deepak will immediately be stripped of his whistleblower status if he reveals the information to the public.
He said the act only allowed protection if the witness provides the information to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) or police.
