PUTRAJAYA 10 Dis. - Majlis Makan Malam Amal Pakatan Harapan (PH) malam tadi yang bertujuan mengumpul dana secara telus dan berintegriti terus ke akaun pakatan itu menyaksikan penglibatan beberapa taikun kontroversi yang menarik perhatian ramai.
Terdapat daripada mereka sanggup membelanjakan setengah juta ringgit bagi membida gambar-gambar bersejarah para pemimpin utama PH pada malam tersebut.
Antara yang menarik perhatian adalah penjualan gambar kenangan sidang akhbar pertama Tun Dr. Mahathir selepas mengangkat sumpah sebagai Perdana Menteri bersama pemimpin gabungan parti PH pada Mei lalu, yang mencatatkan jualan lelongan tertinggi iaitu RM500,000.

I’m not offended, says minister ‘missing’ in picture sold at PH fundraiser
PUTRAJAYA: Entrepreneur Development Minister Redzuan Yusof says he is not offended that his image was removed from a picture showing Pakatan Harapan (PH) leaders which was auctioned off at the coalition’s fundraising event recently.
He said he was not blaming anyone over the removal of his image and believed it might have been a mistake.
“I can’t say what is the motive behind it but I think this could be just a mistake by the printer,” Redzuan said at his ministry here.
“It’s up to the conscience of those who had reproduced the picture and sold it for over half a million”.
Pictures of the photograph without Redzuan, who is a PPBM member, went viral on social media today.
The picture was sold for RM500,000 to businessman and Platinum Valley managing director Gan Yu Chai during the PH charity dinner recently.
Redzuan said the original photograph which showed him with Dr Mahathir Mohamad and other top PH leaders was taken hours after Mahathir was sworn in as prime minister following the coalition’s election victory in May.
In the original photograph, Redzuan could be seen smiling behind the prime minister.
But he was missing in the version that was sold on Sunday.
The picture was among items auctioned during a dinner in Putrajaya to raise funds for the coalition as it entered its seventh month in power.
A senior source in PH confirmed that Redzuan’s image was missing from the picture.
“It’s strange. We are not sure if this is unintentional or has to do with some party rivalry in PPBM,” the source said.
When asked if he was considering filing a police report over the matter, Redzuan, who is the Alor Gajah MP, said there was no need to do so.
“Why should I pursue this issue any further?
“To me, it is the responsibility of the printer to come forward and explain about this mistake,” he said, adding that PH had to justify the RM500,000 price tag to the buyer.
Redzuan said mistakes should not have happened because the picture captured a historic moment for PH.
“If you are selling a piece of history, then you sell history as it is and do not alter history,” he said
