Questions on Taib rejected for ‘no reason’

KUCHING: Will the Sarawak Legislative Assembly ever entertain questions about the international probes on its Chief Minister Taib Mahmud? Not likely, going by the Speaker’s latest rejection.

According to a disappointed Padungan assemblyman Wong King Wei, the Speaker had ‘no reason’ to reject his question on the probes carried out by Switzerland, Germany and Australia against Taib.

“My question was directed to the Minister in the Chief Minister’s Office and Minister with Special Functions Adenan Satem in relation to the probes carried out by Switzerland, Germany and Australia on the wealth of the Chief Minister and what measures are being taken by the state government to clear the Chief Minister’s name.

“And this question has been rejected on the reason that I should not mention the name of the person in question.

“In my question, I never mentioned the name of the person. I only mentioned his official position. It is only an excuse to reject my question, there was no reason,” he told FMT, adding that Satem should have been allowed to answer his question.
