His press secretary said no statements was issued by the state government and claims the report was a ‘ploy’ by irresponsible people.
SHAH ALAM: Selangor Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim has denied allegation he paid claims totaling RM15 million to State Economic Adviser Anwar Ibrahim last year.
When approached by reporters after the State Assembly session here yesterday the Selangor Menteri Besar said: “Its not true.”
Meanwhile, Khalid’s press secretary Arfaa’ Eza Abdul Aziz also denied the allegation and insisted Khalid never made any statement on the claims.
“The Menteri Besar’s Office never issued any statement on Anwar’s claims. I am surprised how the issue came about, even saying it was posted on the state government official website.
“I did some checking and found that no such report was posted and do not dismiss it as a ploy by irresponsible people,” she said.
Several blogs reported that Anwar allegedly made claims of about RM15 million last year involving office allowances, overseas travel and subsistence.
