PM: Mustafa remains Lenggeng assemblyman

(Bernama) – BALIK PULAU: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said Mustafa Salim’s conviction for corruption does not remove him as the Lenggeng assemblyman as he is filing an appeal.

The Seremban Sessions Court on Friday sentenced Mustafa to three years jail and fined him RM20,000 in default 12 months jail after finding him guilty of accepting a RM2,000 bribe from a contractor three years ago.

Najib was asked to comment on the position of Mustafa at the lunch with the people in Kampung Permatang Pasir, here Saturday.

On another matter, the prime minister said he would not want to comment on the sex video clip allegedly involving an opposition politician.

“I do not wish to comment on the matter. Let the people determine. I want the truth, not perception,” he said.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar had announced Friday that the recording of the sex video was authentic, but he declined to name the character in the clip. — Bernama
