Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein denied his involvement in selling the exclusive ‘Patriot’ registration plates to Yayasan Patriot Negara (YPN).

“I don’t know anything about ‘Patriot’, but maybe it is an attempt to ayself and the current transport minister.

He stressed that he was the least worried as, "I have nothing to hide."

The Defence Minister hopes that investigation will be executed by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) if there was any abuse of power or misappropriation involved.

“Please check the records to be find out who approved the process. I have nothing to do with this and I hope there will be no attempt to put myself and the current minister in such situation,” he said.

Last Tuesday, YPN denied any wrong doing in the application for the exclusive PATRIOT number plate series.
