KUALA LUMPUR: Lembah Pantai member of parliament (MP) Nurul Izzah Anwar has denied offering US$2million (RM8.7 million) to former Petro Saudi employee Xavier Andre Justo in future government contracts when the opposition came in power.
“I have never met him,” she said in a statement, adding that the report by the New Straits Times today was just an attempt to connect the opposition to Justo and shift away attention from 1Malaysia Development Berhad and RM2.6billion issue.
She claims that the NST and Berita Harian front-page story was reported in a sensationalised manner,
She said she had already instructed her lawyers to commence legal proceedings against the NST and Berita Harian.
