By K. KASTURI DEWI, The STAR
GEORGE TOWN: A state PKR panel investigating two senior state party leaders for allegedly covering up illegal activities by local quarry operators will submit its report next week.
State PKR chairman Datuk Zahrain Mohamed Hashim said the state liaison committee would forward a copy of the report to the party’s central committee for the next course of action, if any was required.
He said the panel, headed by state assembly Speaker Abdul Halim Hussain, had been given three weeks to investigate the allegations by Kepala Batas PKR Youth chief Amizudin Ahmat.
Amizudin, who was then Seberang Prai Municipal councillor, raised the allegations during a full council meeting on Feb 27.
He was the first to be called by the four-member panel set up on March 16.
The other panel members are state assembly Deputy Speaker Tan Hock Leong, Pantai Jerejak assemblyman Sim Tze Tzin and Batu Uban assemblyman S. Raveentharan.
It was also reported that the probe was an internal party matter and had nothing to do with investigations being conducted by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission.
