KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 25 (Bernama) -- The Member of Parliament for Gua Musang, Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, has been asked to study very carefully before agreeing to head the petroleum caucus which the opposition intends to set up to claim the petroleum royalty in Kelantan.
Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said the Barisan Nasional (BN) was not involved in such matters as it was bound by party principles.
"It will be good if YAM Tengku Razaleigh studies the matter thoroughly because although it involves the state of Kelantan, it is being sponsored by the opposition party and Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim wants to personally work on it.
"So, based on normal policy, we usually think it's not appropriate but I believe Tengku Razaleigh understands this and we leave it to his wisdom to study before making the final decision. I believe he has vast experience in the party and he knows what he wants to do," he told reporters, here on Wednesday.
Muhyiddin said this when asked to comment on Tengku Razaleigh's statement yesterday refuting Anwar's claim that he had agreed to lead the petroleum caucus.
Tengku Razaleigh was also reported as saying that he was still thinking about the offer.
On the MCA internal crisis, Muhyiddin, who is also the Barisan Nasional (BN)deputy chairman, said he would not make any media statement before submitting the report to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
"Well I will not, as I said before, make any media report on it. I will not update you from day to day," he said.
However, he said initiatives to resolve the crisis faced by the BN component party were going on every day.
Commenting on the High Court decision prohibiting the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to interrogate witnesses after office hours, he said it would be discussed at the Cabinet meeting when the Prime Minister returned from abroad.
On another matter, Muhyiddin said he did not know what was meant by academician Prof Emeritus Tan Sri Dr Khoo Kay Kim who claimed that the Chinese schools produced many 'copy cat' students.
