Investigate how RPK obtained information on Penang tunnel, says Annuar Musa

PETALING JAYA: Umno is questioning how blogger Raja Petra Kamaruddin was able to publish information on the Penang Undersea Tunnel project, which is classified under the Official Secrets Act 1972 (OSA).

Umno secretary-general Tan Sri Annuar Musa (pic) said that Raja Petra had published an article online alleging graft in the project and implicated DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng and several other party leaders.

"How can Raja Petra publish something from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) files, and aren't these investigations papers considered classified under the OSA?" he asked in a Facebook post on Tuesday (Feb 26).

Annuar said this was "surprising" and could tarnish the reputation of the MACC.

"Lim should lodge a police report against the leak of MACC documents. Lim and the DAP leaders should also sue Raja Petra for the article," he said.

Annuar also called on MACC to investigate how he obtained the documents in the first place.
