Wan Saiful names MPs who 'attempted to influence him to support govt'

Kuala Lumpur: Bersatu MP Wan Saiful Wan Jan today revealed the identities of two MPs who, he claimed, attempted to influence him into supporting Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s unity government.

Wan Saiful told the Dewan Rakyat that the two MPs were among the six who decided to pledge their support for Anwar last year.He said the offer, made by one of the MPs and two others on Jan 17, included a parliamentary allocation of RM2 million, payment towards his wife’s medical expenses, an unspecified token sum to cover legal fees incurred in his ongoing court case and the possibility of dropping the charges brought against him.

“This is an attempt to influence my behaviour. It constitutes harassment, bribery and threats, all of which are unacceptable methods to influence my conduct as an MP,” he said.Wan Saiful proposed establishing a committee under Standing Order 80A to punish those who have committed contempt of the House under Sections 9 and 9 of the Houses of Parliament Act 1952, or Act 347.

Wan Saiful said he made the proposal based on a precedent set by the late Bukit Gelugor MP, Karpal Singh.
