SHAH ALAM: Baling MP Datuk Seri Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim has arrived at the Selangor police contingent headquarters to lodge a report denying his involvement in the controversial Penang undersea tunnel project.
He arrived at around 9.10am on Friday (March 2), and was greeted by a group of supporters who waited for him at the entrance.
Abdul Azeez, who is also Tabung Haji chairman, was reported to have been served with a letter of demand from CZC, the main contractor of the Penang undersea tunnel project, a claim which he has denied.
An online news portal, quoting sources, reported that CZC had issued a demand letter on Feb 24 to Abdul Azeez, alleging that it had paid RM3mil to the MP and another RM19mil to a businessman for consultancy work related to the tunnel project. The businessman has since been remanded over the issue.
