KUALA LUMPUR, March 4 — Jaringan Melayu Malaysia (JMM) today asked the police to reinvestigate Pandan MP Rafizi Ramli for exposing the banking information of the National Feedlot Corporation (NFCorp) in a bid to restart his now-halted prosecution over the charges.

The Malay rights group questioned why there has been no progress in Rafizi’s case since 2013, when another individual charged with abetting him was convicted and imprisoned under the same law.

“We want the police to reopen the case and investigate Rafizi again. At the moment, it looks like the A-G (Attorney-General), the courts have done nothing and let him walk freely,” JMM’s Federal Territory chief Faizan Mohd Nor said after lodging a police report at Dang Wangi police station here.

“Can the action of exposing, printing and providing information on bank accounts to the public and media be allowed in this country?”

Rafizi was charged with violating Bafia on August 1, 2012 when he exposed the confidential banking documents of NFCorp, the company at the centre of the RM250-million cattle-farming scandal that led to the fall of a senior Umno minister.

In 2013, he obtained a stay of prosecution pending an appeal to the Federal Court for the charges to be dismissed.
