JMM president Azwanddin Hamzah yesterday
urged the trio to hold a press conference to inform the rakyat why foreign
influence had been used to interfere in the country's political agenda.
"We also want to know if Tian Chua,
Sivarasa and Kua have paid taxes to the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) from the
funds received from currency speculator George Soros.
"It's very clear that Soros was the mastermind
behind the plans of bringing down the country's economy," he said
yesterday in a statement.
Azwanndin urged IRB chief executive officer
Tan Sri Mohd Shukor Mahfar to investigate and ensure that the key Suaram
figures were paying corporate income tax.
Suaram has been plagued with controversy
with reports that it was not a non-governmental organisation but an entity
registered as a company called Suara Inisiatif Sdn Bhd and the revelation of
"highly suspicious" fund transactions between Suaram and Suara
Inisiatif.
The Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and
Consumerism Ministry has been investigating whether an American
non-governmental organisation that is allegedly funding Suaram is linked to
Soros.
Emails have been reportedly found linking
the money to Soros.
Meanwhile, Perkasa information chief Ruslan
Kasim yesterday urged Suaram officials to identify those who had pushed it to
pay private investigator P. Balasubramaniam to sign a statutory declaration in
a plot to defame the prime minister.
"It is undeniable and obvious that the
main agenda of the people and sponsors of Suaram is to accuse the prime
minister in the murder case of Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu," he said.
Ruslan added that their other agendas
included sponsoring programmes for apostasy and other elements frowned upon by
Islam.
Perkasa, he said, was also urging the
American embassy to openly declare that the Open Society Institute has nothing
to do with the producers of the movie, Nakuola Basseley.
