No element of corruption in Rina Harun s million-ringgit debt settlement, says PM thestar.com.my - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from thestar.com.my Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
The Titiwangsa MP merely replied to just let others answer it, without elaborating.
She was asked to comment about a report lodged to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) on the matter.
This comes after French production company Sarl Novision said through lawyer Mark Ho that Rina had settled the undisclosed amount owed earlier last month.
Sarl Novovision had filed the suit against the Women, Family and Community Development Minister on Nov 8,2018 demanding that the million-plus ringgit debt be paid by July 31, 2019.
It was reported that Rina – through her now-defunct companies Eurofine (M) Sdn Bhd, Fine Mobile Network Sdn Bhd and Fine TV Network Sdn Bhd – had purchased several comedy shows and documentaries worth millions of ringgit from the Paris-based production company between 2011 and 2013.

“It was reported that the minister has settled her debts to a Paris-based film company. She was earlier served with a bankruptcy notice for debts amounting to RM1,340,642.02.
“She should explain how she managed to accumulate sufficient wealth and funds to pay off the huge debt in a short period of 15 months as the (MACC’s) asset declaration data shows that her assets stood at RM72,000 when the same was made public on Nov 20,2019, with an income of RM34,004.48 a month, ” she said on Wednesday (Feb 17).
