November 5, 2008 Deputy speaker Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar today rejected an emergency motion filed by Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim calling for the formation of a royal commission to probe three government ‘mega projects’.
Anwar (PKR-Permatang Pauh), who filed the motion on October 29, tried in vain to urge Wan Junaidi to reconsider his decision.
However, Wan Junaidi replied that once the speaker makes a ruling, the decision cannot be overturned.
Anwar had filed the emergency motion seeking a royal commission to probe the RM11.31 billion broadband project, the RM4.26 billion purchase of Bank Internasional Indonesia shares by Maybank Bhd and the suspended RM1.7 billion procurement of 12 helicopters from Eurocopter France.
