Rafizi provided MACC records to show the former policeman’s conviction for graft. — File picKUALA LUMPUR, March 22 ― A pro-Umno blogger, sued by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim this week for posting photographs from an allegedly fake sex video, is a former policeman convicted of bribery and an alleged “phantom voter” registered to vote in two different locations, PKR’s Rafizi Ramli alleged today.
“Investigation showed that the individual named Wan Muhammad Azri Wan Deris (Papa Gomo) is a former traffic policeman with the rank of corporal that was sentenced to jail for the offence of threatening someone suspected to be a drug addict to get bribes,” the PKR strategy director said.
Following the allegation, Rafizi also showed reporters an entry in the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s (MACC) database with the name of the policeman from the Ampang traffic police and his police identity card (IC) number.
Using the police IC number shown in the MACC database and Papa Gomo’s ordinary IC number, Rafizi said PKR found that the blogger was registered as a voter in two parliamentary constituencies ― Ampang and Wangsa Maju.
He then showed the two different entries in the Election Commission’s (EC) website, saying that the differing dates of birth recorded there had led PKR to investigate the addresses used by Papa Gomo.

Asked for proof that Papa Gomo was the same man in the MACC database which did not list the policeman’s ordinary IC number, Rafizi again pointed to court documents that could match the two IC numbers, saying he wanted to wait for the blogger’s response before showing them.
Rafizi also said background checks conducted by PKR in Ampang showed that people there remember the blogger as having worked as a policeman.
Rafizi urged the EC, which had been criticised for allegedly failing to keep a clean electoral roll, to answer the allegation of the existence of phantom voters.
