“Dewan Rakyat must move to investigate through its select committee so that the actual facts can be made known,” he was quoted by Bernama as saying today in Jempol, Negeri Sembilan today.

“It would serve as a lesson to all leaders, so that they do not stoop to lying and distorting the facts,” he added.

Let's wait for the debate on the royal address,” he told reporters in Subang, Selangor, today.
