Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim (pic) today addressed roiling speculation over his surprising out-of-court settlement with Bank Islam, saying that he had no links to former finance minister Tun Daim Zainuddin.
News portal Malaysiakini quoted Khalid as saying that those who are speculating that he is now in cahoots with Daim, should pose the question to Daim themselves.
Umno's involvement in the out-of-court settlement arose after it was established that a lawyer linked to the ruling party played a key role in facilitating the settlement between Khalid and Bank Islam.
PKR’s Kapar MP G. Manivanan today also issued a press statement urging Khalid to disclose if the person who brokered the out-of-court settlement is close to Daim, as speculated.
“The people who say I’m being used by Daim will need to ask Daim if he’s indeed using me. I have absolutely no links to him,” he was quoted as saying in Malaysiakini.
