KOTA KINABALU: A Sabah businessman has rejected accusations made by Acting Chief Minister Shafie Apdal about the disappearance of state land belonging to Yayasan Sabah.
The businessman, Mohemad Amin Azizurahman @ Amin Khan, said that several people had accused him of being a thief and a robber after Shafie made the accusations in his recent speeches, which were widely shared.
Amin said that Shafie had alleged that he had received 30,000 acres of land in Kalabakan from the Yayasan Sabah foundation, and that between 600,000 and 700,000 acres of the foundation’s land had “disappeared.”
He said: “I have never obtained 30,000 acres of land from Yayasan Sabah at any time. As far as I know, the concession land areas held by Yayasan Sabah are all under a license and it is impossible for such areas to “disappear” or be turned over to third parties. These areas will always remain under Yayasan Sabah. “
He said Shafie, as chairman of the Yayasan Sabah board of trustees, should conduct a proper and thorough investigation, which he said would prove that he had never been gifted 30,000 acres.
“I do not have that land registered in my personal name. As such, there is not a shred of truth in the allegations made by Shafie, ”she said.
He said he was willing to assist in such investigations and described Shafie’s accusations as an attempt to discredit his reputation as an honest businessman.
