¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Speaker, while I was absent on 22nd October, Hon. Shanakiyan Rajaputhiran Rasamanickam, MP, made a baseless allegation that I had engaged in an improper transaction regarding a warehouse and claimed to have evidence. This was also carried by other media. I strongly reject this false allegation which breaches my privilege, and I kindly request a fair inquiry into this breach.
