Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's contradictory reply on 1 Malaysia Development Berhad's (1MDB) savings in a Singapore bank may expose him to contempt proceedings in Parliament, said veteran lawmaker Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah.
However, the Gua Musang MP said since Najib, who is also finance minister, had corrected the parliamentary reply, then it should not be construed as “lying”.
"But whatever it is, the PM should not commit a breach of privilege of the House.
"Be it spoken or written, it is an act of privilege for MPs," he told reporters at the Parliament lobby.
Pointed out that Najib’s correction came two weeks after the mistake on May 10, Tengku Razaleigh, who is popularly known as Ku Li, said it was up to the parties to raise in it Parliament if they felt PM had misled the house.
"It's up to the House and parties concerned to decide," he said. - M'kini
