PETALING JAYA: MCA president Wee Ka Siong has dismissed speculation he was involved in a meeting with former prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob, other Barisan Nasional members and PAS leaders.

In a Twitter post making the rounds, a meeting between BN and PAS members purportedly took place at the Tropicana Golf Resort from 10.30am to noon yesterday.

The post lists Ismail, who is Umno vice-president, former Umno secretary-general Annuar Musa, PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan, Wee and Annuar’s press secretary Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz as among those who attended the meeting.

Wee said he was disappointed that people were spreading rumours and implying that he was involved in political manoeuvres even though the political impasse following last Saturday’s general election had been resolved.

He admitted that he was at the Tropicana Golf Resort during the time of the alleged meeting, but said it was for a brunch appointment with two businessmen.

“We were at the Chinese restaurant there while Ismail was at the other restaurant. You can check the restaurant’s CCTV footage,” he told FMT.

Meanwhile, BN’s candidate for the Padang Serai election, Sivaraj Chandran, said Annuar had visited Padang Serai, Kedah, yesterday for discussions with its Umno division about the coming election. - FMT
