However, Subramaniam said he was sure that the NGO which invited him to the event was a registered group.
He was referring to a police report by Tamilar Action Force (TAF) yesterday, which claimed that Subramaniam (right) and two other top BN leaders were spotted at an event organised by 'Geng 36' at The Mines, Seri Kembangan on Dec 3, 2011."Yes, we were invited by an NGO to attend a function. They were giving laptops for school children and giving money for poor people. So in all fairness and sincerity we attended the function.
"We didn’t know about this strange mix up which has been reported. It was an event organised by a registered NGO. As leaders, we very often agree to these kind of things.
"But who organised it? Who is the person? This is not information we are privy to,” he told reporters in Putrajaya today.
Linked to MIC polls?
The police report by TAF member S Murali was to demand a probe on an anonymous letter addressed to Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak which detailed alleged political links with the underworld.
According to the police, "Geng 36" is a notorious organised crime group.
Subramaniam and MIC Youth chief T Mohan (left) were among those named in the polic report while the third BN top gun is from Umno Youth. Malaysiakini is withholding the name of the Umno leader until the person responds for comments.
Yesterday, Mohan told Malaysiakini that he was unaware if the organisers of the event had underworld links and suggested that the person behind the allegation might be trying to influence the upcoming MIC central working committee elections.
Malaysiakini also understands that at least two other top BN leaders were at the event.
