KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 13 — Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories) Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa today reaffirmed that all information she shared in the Dewan Rakyat regarding the Kampung Sungai Baru land acquisition was based on official government records.
She dismissed allegations by former Federal Territories Minister Tan Sri Annuar Musa, who accused her of lying to Parliament, making false statements, and distorting facts during her briefing session last Thursday.
“The claims made against me are a serious slander that damages my reputation as a minister and undermines the credibility of Parliament itself.
“If he insists that I distorted facts, he should come forward and provide proof. The integrity of the Dewan Rakyat cannot be compromised by baseless allegations,” she wrote in a Facebook post.
Dr Zaliha added that the Madani Government remains focused on ensuring that residents who have agreed to the resettlement plan can return to Kampung Sungai Baru as soon as possible and receive their rightful compensation.
Earlier, Annuar reportedly sent a notice demanding an explanation from Dr Zaliha regarding her statement in Parliament, in which she said the Kampung Sungai Baru land acquisition process had been expedited and completed within just three days in 2021. — Bernama
