They argued that officials had also made the document available on the official Parliament website prior to the embargo’s expiry and accessible to all, effectively negating the embargo. A motion to suspend Najib for three months over the breached embargo is Parliament’s first order of business today and Ismail urged for this to be withdrawn.“So I propose, because maybe there is a mistake on the part of the government in tabling this motion, as they might not have realised the White Paper was already uploaded onto the website and accessible by the public, and therefore the embargo was automatically lifted,” Ismail said.
