“PKR’s strategic director Rafizi Ramli should apologise for his allegations, which are false, defamatory and a deliberate smear on the Prime Minister’s reputation.
No public funds were used to meet the costs of his daughter’s engagement reception, which was paid for personally by the Prime Minister and his family.”

(Press Secretary to the Prime Minister of Malaysia)The above brief statement from the Prime Minister's Office was issued late this evening following a defamatory article which appeared in an Opposition-mouthpiece online news portal.
'PM's Dept paid for daughter's engagement do'

PKR today revealed evidence which it said show that the government had foot the bill for the engagement reception for Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's daughter.
Citing a banquet event order from Shangri La Hotel, which catered the Seri Perdana event, PKR director of strategy Rafizi Ramli said he said RM409,767 was billed to the Prime Minister’s Department.
"This is not a small matter. It may be just RM409,767, but it signifies the lax attitude of the government, starting from the PM to his cabinet ministers who use taxpayers' money for the personal luxuries," he said.
Rafizi is the person with ex-convict Anwar Ibrahim in both the pictures. He is a well known Anwar lackey, whom some say was the 'honorary tea-boy' until another good looking boy came by. Rafizi is widely expected to take over the PKR deputy presidency from Anwar's 'ex' Azmin Ali.
