KUALA LUMPUR – Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak assured Damansara MP Tony Pua that his explanation related to “misleading statements” during last week’s debate session will be “satisfying” and would also “heat up” members of the opposition.
Taking to Facebook, Najib said he had received a letter from Dewan Rakyat speaker Tan Sri Azizan Harun at 3.03pm last Monday.
The Pekan MP explained that he replied to the letter immediately and asked for an extension of one week, as he was already in Johor, apart from the many programs that had already been pre-arranged for him.
“The preparation of documents and evidence also takes time. It is impossible to complete it in a day.
“In addition, I am already in Johor. In my opinion, this is not an unreasonable request,” he said.
Najib also took the opportunity to taunt Pua, saying that at least he was able to reply to Azizan’s letter when asked.
“The speaker during the PH administration did not dare to ask for an explanation from your boss Lim Guan Eng for his slander in the Dewan Rakyat that BN has robbed RM19.4 billion in Goods and Services Tax money.”
Earlier, the Dewan Rakyat session today erupted into a brief shouting match after the delayed deadline for Najib to clarify his “misleading statements”.
This drew ire from Tony Pua (Damansara-PH), saying Najib’s “excuse” is insulting to the Dewan Rakyat, as the Pekan lawmaker is not a candidate in the Johor election.
Last Thursday, Pua submitted a motion requesting that Najib be referred to the Parliamentary Rights and Freedoms Committee for allegedly trying to “mislead” the House.
In response to the motion, Azizan had instructed Najib to provide an explanation on the allegation that he issued a misleading statement to the Dewan Rakyat during his debate session on 1Malaysia Development Bhd last week. – The Vibes, March 9, 2022
