Gobala manages to pay off a RM1,402,250 lease....

After the onslaught by independent Padang Serai parliamentarian N Gobalakrishnan against its leadership in the House yesterday, PKR today returned the barrage, levelling accusations that their former comrade was paid to leave the opposition party and attack its leadership.

"PKR reiterates its stand that the treacherous exit of some of its members of Parliament were driven by luxurious incentives which they might not have gotten if they had remained in the party.

"It is to this temptation that they fell victim to. They then invented various unfounded reasons to justify their treachery," said party secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution during a press conference in Parliament today.

The same, he alluded, is true of the Padang Serai MP's exit from the party as well.

"It is strange when all of a sudden, Gobalakrishnan manages to pay off a RM1,402,250 lease for Embun Megah Sdn Bhd addressed at 1525, Kulim Height 3, Kulim Golf and Country Resort Kedah, a company he owned, to Kumpulan Pertanian Kelantan Berhad," claimed Saifuddin.

The payment, he said was made via two postdated Hong Leong Bank cheques, one dated Jan 12 2011 for RM700,000 and the other is dated Mar 15 2011 for RM701,250 said Saifuddin, holding up photocopies of the cheques to reporters.

Furthermore the secretary-general pointed out that Gobalakrishnan's sudden wealth coincided with his sudden attack on his former compatriots.

"January and March 2011 was the height of of the incessant attacks, slander and criticism from Gobalakrishnan (left) towards PKR.

"It is also during this time that he suddenly was able to pay off the over RM1.4 million for the land," accused Saifuddin.

The PKR leader further explained that the payment was for a 100-acre piece of land in Lojing Kelantan, adding that he got the copies of the cheques from the land owner. This he said contradicted what he knew about Gobalakrishnan and his long standing financial troubles.

Kapar MP S Manikavasagam who also at the press conference also expressed incredulity on the sudden source of Gobalakrishnan's allegedly new found wealth.

"I know him well, it is strange for him to suddenly have the money," said Manikavasagam.

Gobala refutes Saifuddin's accusations

In a press conference immediately after, Gobalakrishnan defended himself from the accusations.

"The secretary general said yesterday that he will reveal a PKR MP that left the party for RM1.4 million.

"I am not the one. I do have a checking account. But I have never signed any cheque this year," he stressed.

Gobalakrishnan contended that the land belonged to his family members and he has no interest in it at all.

The RM1.4 million paid to the Kumpulan Pertanian Kelantan Berhad, he claimed, was part payment from an interested developer who wanted to develop part of the land.

"He has to prove that I own the land and I paid the money. All of you know Gobalakrishnan's signature, I can sign for you now. He can bring the cheques next time and will see if those cheques were signed by me or not," challenged the independent parliamentarian.
