Karpal Singh wants former Indonesia vice-president Jusuf Kalla to publicly express regret and apologise to Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim for an alleged breach of confidentiality.
Karpal slammed Jusuf Kalla for publicly revealing details of a private meeting between him, Anwar and Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak held in Jakarta in March this year.
He said Jusuf Kalla should not have revealed confidential details to the press on what transpired during the meeting, adding that it did not speak well of the former vice-president.
He expressed regret that a person of such high public position like Jusuf had such low dignity to accuse Anwar of receiving foreign aid.
“What was discussed ought to have remained confidential. Jusuf Kalla obviously has his own agenda. It’s obvious that Anwar should not have trusted him.
“Jusuf Kalla should express regret for his statement and apologise to Anwar,” insisted Karpal, the DAP national chairman.
He acknowledged that Jusuf’s revelations that Anwar had received foreign funds for the “Blackout 505” rallies would affect public confidence in Pakatan Rakyat.
Jusuf Kalla had reportedly stated that Anwar received funds from a giant company in Philippines, Turkey, USA, Thailand and China.
Jusuf also ridiculed Anwar’s hopeless aspiration to become the country’s Prime Minister despite Pakatan Rakyat only having 89 parliamentary seats against Barisan Nasional’s 133.
He accused Anwar of breaching a gentleman agreement to accept the 13th General Election results by making all sorts of electoral fraud claims.
