In a surprising turn of event, Malaysian United Indian Party president Senator S Nallakaruppan today denied accusing former deputy prime minister Anwar Ibrahim of having taken RM60 million from gaming firm Magnum Corporation Bhd.

Nallakaruppan, who is on the witness stand at the Kuala Lumpur High Court, said the reports carried by the media – Mingguan Malaysia and Sinar Harian – had been twisted.

"I did not make the statement as it has been twisted," he told a packed court room.
