Yayasan Pembangunan Ekonomi Islam Malaysia (Yapeim) lodged a police report today against National Oversight and Whistleblowers (NOW), stating that NOW obtained the Yapeim documents illegally.

"We have found that those documents revealed by NOW were obtained through illegitimate means, purposely to twist the facts and truth," Yapeim chief executive officer Abibullah Samsudin told reporters.

Speaking outside the Dang Wangi district police headquarters after lodging the report, Abibullah was accompanied by Yapeim legal director Mohd Nasir Disa and lawyer Ahmad Seman.

About 40 supporters also turned up to show their solidarity with Yapeim.

PKR-linked NOW had previously released leaked documents, claiming that it showed abuse of funds from Yapeim.

Mohd Nasir said the documents are real, but insisted they do not show the whole picture.

There are other documents, Mohd Nasir said, which would reveal the actual truth.

For example, he said, NOW leaked documents to show that federal minister Jamil Khir Baharom visited Iowa and Minnesota in the US, but those plans were later scrapped.

This was reflected in later documents, which are not part of what NOW leaked, he said.

'Half-cooked documents'

"So what has become the focus, you can call it documents that are separuh masak (half-cooked).

"(NOW) should have got an explanation from us on those (leaked) documents before it jumped to conclusions," Mohd Nasir said.

He also stressed that NOW was wrong to say that Jamil used the orphans' fund for his trips, because the funds used were from Yapeim's businesses.

"When you obtain documents illegitimately, which are not the final documents, it will make the people confused.

"That is why Abibullah is making this report, to explain that those documents were obtained illegitimately," Mohd Nasir ( centre in photo ) insisted.

Even the figures allegedly used by Jamil for his trips abroad that were released by NOW are inaccurate, he added.

It does not take into account the amount the minister has to pay back to Yapeim for personal expenses, for example, he said.

"That is the way things are done at agencies (like Yapeim) because we use the 'blue ocean' method.

"There are several departments in Yapeim and each department makes its own contributions (to the running of the company)," Mohd Nasir explained.

He also confirmed again that Yapeim would be suing NOW, hopefully within a week.

For now, it is waiting for NOW to leak more documents as this would only strengthen Yapeim's case against NOW, he added.
