"If they are right and have done nothing wrong, why should they get so angry? Why attack me, say all kinds of things about me? I was just furnishing the information which I received for investigation to be carried out.

"The truth always hurts," he told reporters at the parliament lobby today.

Recently, Zahrain handed over the documents to Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Mohamed Nazri Aziz which link PKR to the sponsoring of the fugitive Raja Petra and Balasubramaniam's expenses in London.

Zahrain, a former PKR member, also challenged the two to return to Malaysia to be investigated if they were really innocent.

Balasubramaniam has retorted earlier that he was instead sponsored by a businessman who has close links with Prime Minister Najib Razak’s wife, Rosmah Mansor.
