The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has been urged to investigate the purchase of aRM110 million luxury condominium in New York by the son of the prime minister’s wife, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor (pic).

PKR vice-president and Batu MP Tian Chua, in making the call, also took MACC to task for its apparentfailure to convict high-ranking Barisan Nasional (BN) leaders who have made headlines for alleged corruption.

Referring to a report bywhistleblower portal Sarawak Report, citing a New York real estate website, that36-year-old Riza Shahriz Abdul Aziz had bought the property in November last year, Tian Chua said: “The revelation is shocking. At a time when the people are struggling with the cost of living, some are splurging.

"Where did he (Riza Shahriz) get that much money? RM110 million is a lot.”

Riza Shahrizis Rosmah’s son from a previous marriage.

TheSarawak Report cited The Real Deal,which said Riza bought the seven-bedroom property at West 63rd Street in Park Laurel, New York, on November 19 last year.

Tian Chua said such lavish spending by Najibs family was proof they were living beyond their means and as such the MACC should take action.

"There is all this evidence that the prime ministers family is clearly living beyond their means.
“Where did they get so much money?" he asked.

He pointed out that in many countries, an anti-corruption probe would have been conducted if a person was living beyond his means.

"We are quite surprised how the MACC can be so immune to all these problems, from Rosmah using a government jet and now this," he said, referring to Rosmah's use of the aircraft to attend a women's summit in Qatar recently, which caused a furore in Parliament.


DAP MP Liew Chin Tong meanwhile said the latest revelation underlined an urgent need for ministers and their immediate family members to declare their assets.

He said Najib and his family should lead by example and declare their assets first, to clear the publics suspicions over their wealth. – December 28, 2013.
