2. Its president Azwanddin Hamzah claimed that almost 40 companies registered in Malaysia were set up to specifically receive the funds, before being re-directed to Suaram, a move to ensure the process was untraceable.

3. Azwanddin also claimed that until today, there was not any concrete answer given by both Suaram and Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) leaders to counter the allegation that both parties politically have been closely working together
