I feel there is a gross miscarriage of justice by charging Rafizi for revealing bank accounts of NFCorp.

In my opinion, Rafizi by revealing the bank accounts of NFCorp has shown that the officers of NFCorp were involved in a major offence of laundering money belonging to the people.

NFCorp obtained a sum of RM250 million from the government, ostensibly to invest in a major cattle venture.

The company officers led by its chairman Datuk Seri Mohamed Salleh misused the money and attempted to hide the money in properties in foreign countries. They were engaged in money laundering.

Rafizi discovered this and reported the money laundering operation to the press, based on bank accounts in the names of NFCorp officers.

Technically by revealing the secret bank accounts, Rafizi could have transgressed certain bank laws.

But Rafizi was doing important detective work because he revealed information that NFCorp was involved in laundering money which belonged to the people. He was doing a job which should have been done by government officers in the Finance ministry.

Rafizi deserved a reward for his detective work in uncovering illicit money laundering by NFCorp chairman Datuk Seri Mohd Salleh and his managers.

It is quite clear that Rafizi has been charged unjustly. He committed no offence. He did good police work, and because of his initiative he has uncovered a major corruption operation. He deserves a reward, not a charge in court.
