The government will hold a closed-door briefing session at a hotel in Kuala Lumpur tonight for parliamentarians on claims over Petronas assets by the purported heirs of the Sulu sultanate.
While Dewan Rakyat speaker Azhar Azizan Harun had yesterday rejected calls for the Lower House to debate the matter, tonight’s briefing by three ministers will be held at the Seri Pacific Hotel.
Speaking to reporters in Parliament, Kulai MP Teo Nie Ching said she received an invitation to attend the briefing by Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar, Foreign Minister Saifuddin Abdullah and Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Economy) Mustapa Mohamed.
