I have answered all these baseless allegations during Inquest  of Teoh Beng Hock last year. As these allegations surface again, I  repeat my responses against the allegations made by the MACC officer:<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u201cI  asked him (Teoh) why some purchases of services only had one  quotation,\u201d said Arman.

At  that time, my lawyer, Salim Bashir, has shown the pictures of 4 projects  to Mohd Anuar (MACC Investigation Officer) and he has agreed that these  projects are completed. The MACC officer should check the particulars  from the Land Office before he made this accusation, because technical  officers from land office has to certify completion of a project before  they give payment to the contractor.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\">This has been reported by\u00a0Malay Mail on\u00a0Thursday, August 27th, 2009 04:47:00:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-size: small\">Earlier  during questioning by Abdul Razak, Mohd Anuar told the court that four  documents that contained project information from four companies had  been obtained from Teoh&#8217;s laptop that MACC had seized on July 15.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-size: small\">The  companies according to Mohd Anuar were Fizami Construction, Aris  Enterprise, MKMN Enterprise and MA Bina Melor that were allocated  non-existent projects.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-size: small\">&#8220;The  method used by these companies is that they would allow certain  individuals to use their\u00a0company letterheads and the projects obtained  the approval of Teoh and Ean Yong,&#8221; Mohd Anuar said.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-size: small\">Salim  later showed Mohd Anuar photos of ongoing construction works by Fizami  Construction, Aris Enteprise, MKMN Enterprise and MA Bina Melor and  asked whether work was being carried out.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\"><em>Mohd Anuar said the photos showed work being carried out.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u201cDAP branch took cut from Selangor projects, RCI told.\u201d This statement was made by\u00a0Hairul Ilham Hamzah.\u00a0He mentioned the kickbacks to DAP Branch and Teoh Beng Hock ranging from 10 percent to 90 percent.

We have documents to prove that the  accusations made by Hairul are lies, and show that he did not carry out  proper investigation and frame up accusations against Teoh Beng Hock and  the DAP.<\/p>\n<p>What  happened was, in many cases, the DAP branch or certain party members  have paid upfront to the organizers of the programmes.
