Speaker gets an earful from Anwar after denying debate on Pandora Papers

2021-10-11 3

Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim has once again appealed for allegations concerning Malaysian politicians and business people detailed in the Pandora Papers exposé to be debated in the Dewan Rakyat.

This comes after Speaker Azhar Azizan Harun rejected his emergency motion to debate them last week.

The Pandora Papers refer to a trove of documents leaked to the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) - which Malaysiakini is a part of.

The leak was from firms that helped clients set up or manage offshore trusts and companies in tax havens.
