KJ denies receiving contributions from UKSB


PETALING JAYA: Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin has denied receiving any personal contributions from the company involved in Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s graft trial.

The Rembau MP told the media that the authorities have yet to call him for investigations and that he is ready to help in any investigation.

“I have never personally received any contributions (monetary or political donations) as the court was told.

“I am ready to fully cooperate with the authorities if required to give any statements,” he told the media after launching MOH Hospital Directors Conference here yesterday.

Last week, a former director of Ultra Kirana Sdn Bhd (UKSB) told the Shah Alam High Court that Khairy’s Rembau Umno division received contributions from the company but the money was not given directly to him.

Wan Quoris Shah Wan Abdul Ghani, 42, said contributions of between RM50,000 and RM200,000 were given by UKSB to the division as political aid and for disaster relief and humanitarian activities.

He said the contributions were channelled through the division and not given directly to Khairy, who was then the deputy head of the division.
