KAJANG: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will refer to the Treasury Department over the allegations made by Isham Jalil on the alleged potential breaches in the law on the purchase of an estimated RM40 million worth of shares in HeiTech Padu Bhd.
"I will refer to the Treasury (Department) to obtain complete information before coming out with any statements or comments," he told reporters briefly after attending the buka puasa event at the Ashabus Solihin Mosque in Sungai Long, here.
Anwar said this after being asked to comment on the former Umno leader's concern over alleged potential breaches in the law in Farhash Salvador Rizal Mubarak's purchase of an estimated RM40 million worth of shares in HeiTech Padu Bhd.
Last Thursday, Isham filed a police report over Farhash Wafa Salvador Rizal Mubarak's emergence as a substantial shareholder of a government contractor.
Previously, Farhash demanded that Isham apologise and retract claims made on social media concerning his ownership of HeiTech Padu shares.
He said Isham's claims were defamatory and also sought damages from Isham.
Farhash had also said he was no longer actively involved in politics or in the current administration, pointing out that he bought the HeiTech Padu stake via Rosetta Partners Sdn Bhd.
He said Rosetta Partners was a private vehicle that he co-owned with the Sultan of Kelantan, Sultan Muhammad V.
Isham rejected Farhash's demands, saying he was confident that the truth was on his side.
Anwar had earlier attended the buka puasa event here with the folks of Taman Rakan, Sungai Long.
