Perak Menteri Besar Dr Zambry Abd Kadir today warned opposition leaders not to go overboard in challenging him, including calling him a "big liar" by exposing of being offered the MB post in 2008 if he agreed to cross over to the opposition.

He said a lot more dirt could be exposed about the opposition if they, especially Perak DAP chief Ngeh Koo Ham and PKR advisor Anwar Ibrahim continued to challenge him by making wild accusations against him.

"Tell Ngeh to keep quiet and don't go overboard in challenging me. He should ask his 'boss' who earlier said he did not phone me (with the offer) and the next day, he said he did. This shows who is telling the truth and who is lying.

"Don't let me call him (Anwar) a bankrupt politician for claiming that he never called me (about the offer)," he told reporters, here, today.

Zambry was earlier asked to comment on Ngeh's claim that the offer of the MB post to him was a lie, and on Anwar's admission in the Dewan Rakyat yesterday that an offer was made to Zambry to join PKR after the 12th general election (GE) in 2008.

He said Anwar's admission yesterday revealed who was the "pembohong besar" (big liar).

Perhaps not MB’s post

On the suggestion that the post offered to him might not have been the MB post, Zambry said the top opposition leader would not have called him without a big offer if he agreed to cross over.

"So, if Ngeh doesn't know what happened behind the scenes, he should not talk so much. He should not keep challenging me as I will expose all. It will shame them (opposition). I do not wish to divulge now, I'll have to see what they will do next," he said.

He believed the people would be able to judge the opposition leaders' antics.

On Wednesday, when winding up the debate on the motion of thanks for the royal address at the state assembly sitting, Zambry said the first candidate for the MB post when the opposition pact took control of Perak after the 12th GE, was himself and not Pasir Panjang assemblyman Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin from PAS.

He said the offer was made to him via a phone call and a delegation sent to his house.

Earlier, during the debate, Tajol Rosli Ghazali (BN-Pengkalan Hulu) said three Umno assemblyperson were offered the MB post if they decided to cross over to the opposition.
