Pua pulls out of debate

(MySinchew) — DAP’s MP for Petaling Jaya Utara Tony Pua has pulled out of the debate with 1MDB executive director Arul Kanda Kandasamy.

Dewan Rakyat speaker Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia said earlier today that Pua could debate with Arul Kanda provided that he quit as a PAC member.

Pandikar also said Arul Kanda would not be involved in any probes on 1MDB or any PAC proceedings if the debate were to proceed.

Meanwhile, DAP parliamentary whip Anthony Loke said DAP would find a replacement for the debate as soon as possible and hoped the debate could go on as scheduled at 9pm Friday.
