KOTA KINABALU: Parti
Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Kota Kinabalu Division wants the Department of Insolvency
to explain to the public how Labuan Member of Parliament Datuk Yussof Mahal was
cleared of bankruptcy over a RM16 million loan owed to the Sabah Development
Bank (SDB).
PKR KK Division Chief,
Christina Liew wondered whether the loan had been fully paid up or was merely a
schedule worked out for repayment by installments.
The Labuan High Court had
issued a notice of bankruptcy to Yusoff on Aug 7, 2012.
"In October last year,
he was allowed until Nov 7, 2012 to rescind the bankruptcy order made against
him when he appealed for sufficient time.
"The case was supposed
to have been heard last November following his notice of appeal but there was
no further development.
"And now out of the
blue in January this year, the Labuan MP said he is no longer a bankrupt.
I think an explanation is in
order," she said in a statement, Wednesday.
Liew was commenting on a
media report quoting Yussof as saying that he had been issued with a letter
dated Dec. 12, 2012 by the Department of Insolvency declaring him as no longer
a bankrupt under Section 38(1) (C) Bankruptcy Act 1967.
