Why did SUPP accept RM1 million from Najib Razak?

Accepted Answer

Sarawak Dapsy Claims Police Referred SUPP's RM1 Million Case to MACC

Sarawak Democratic Action Party Socialist Youth (Dapsy) asserts that the police have forwarded the investigation into Sarawak United Peoples' Party's (SUPP) alleged receipt of RM1 million from former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). This claim by Sarawak Dapsy's political education director, Soo Tien Ren, directly challenges SUPP's earlier statement that there was "nothing to investigate" concerning the funds. SUPP had previously lodged a police report against Sarawak Dapsy for questioning the legitimacy of this RM1 million.
SUPP's Alleged Failure to Disclose Fund Details

Soo Tien Ren stated that SUPP has not provided a clear explanation regarding the RM1 million fund. Specifically, the party has failed to detail the nature of the money, its original source, its intended purpose, and whether it was acquired and subsequently used in a legally compliant manner. Instead of offering concrete answers, SUPP has reportedly resorted to general statements, such as suggesting the matter occurred in the past, without addressing the core reasons for accepting the funds from Najib.
Dapsy's Stance on Transparency and Investigation

Sarawak Dapsy maintains that political parties should not shy away from investigations if their financial dealings are above board. Soo Tien Ren argued that SUPP's reluctance to explain its financial relationship with Najib Razak and the circumstances surrounding the acceptance of the RM1 million suggests a lack of transparency. He indicated that Dapsy would not be deterred by political pressure and believes that scrutiny and investigation are necessary to ascertain the legality and propriety of such transactions.
SUPP's Police Report and Dapsy's Response

The situation escalated when SUPP lodged a police report against Sarawak Dapsy, seemingly in response to Dapsy's questioning of the RM1 million's legitimacy. Soo Tien Ren viewed SUPP's action as an attempt to suppress scrutiny, asserting that a party with nothing to hide should not fear an investigation. He called upon SUPP to substantiate its claims of legitimacy through factual evidence and the results of any official investigation, rather than through denials and evasions.
