‘Just joking’: Tempasuk assemblyman denies Sabah corruption claims, says video remarks said in jest and taken out of context, vows legal action
“I would like to clarify that my conversation in the recording, which was edited and circulated with malicious intent, was done in jest and not in a serious context. The video was posted on a national news portal last Thursday, which claimed to have received the one-minute-26-second clip from a whistleblower, who wanted to reveal corrupt practices among several politicians in Sabah.
“The allegation that I blamed them or stated that my project was ‘blocked’ is untrue and deliberately twisted, and so was the claim of involvement by the State Assembly members for Kawang, Pantai Dalit, Tanjung Batu and Labuk in the conversation,” he stressed.
