DATUK Seri Rafizi Ramli today said there were some trying to link the attack on his son to Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri or Khairy Jamaluddin which he said was a malicious attempt to divert attention.

"I have not investigated or touched on either of them. Following the attack on my son last week, the question that often hovers is who the mastermind was who ordered the attack.

"The attack was followed by threatening messages asking me to remain silent. So the question arises as to who wants me to remain silent and on what issue," he said on a social media post.

The former minister said he had confirmed that a week before the attack, he met with a whistleblower regarding a scandal that he was investigating and after that statement, he suddenly saw accusations floating around.

"The first accusation, supposedly was that I was investigating a case involving Ismail Sabri ... supposedly involving money laundered abroad.

"The latest accusation is that I was supposedly investigating another case involving KJ and projects when he was Minister of Health. Both of these accusations are untrue," he stressed.

He revealed that the infromation provided to him involved Datuk Seri Farhash Wafa Salvador, former Political Secretary to Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and the transactions of his companies.

It has nothing to do with Ismail Sabri, KJ or any other politician.

"I see the emergence of various false news as an attempt to divert the attention of the people and the investigation.

"The more stories like this emerge, the more people will conclude for themselves that it is an attempt to divert attention.

"I have contacted Ismail Sabri and fully support his decision to file a police report regarding the false news," he added.

In an earlier report, Farhash had denied all rumours linking him to the attack on the Pandan MP’s son.

He replied with a one-word response about the allegations: “Crazy.”- August 20, 2025
