Nga Kor Ming: Conditions in MoU with Opposition MPs reasonable, Perikatan ‘not making any sense’ with rejection
The conditions imposed in the draft memorandum of understanding (MoU) on Opposition MPs’ allocations were reasonable, said DAP Parliament chief whip Nga Kor Ming today.
(MMO) – Nga, who’s also the housing and local government minister, said that excuses made by Perikatan Nasional (PN) for rejecting it did not make any sense.
“We didn’t impose unreasonable conditions on them. No, they are very reasonable.
In the past, when we were the opposition, we had good discussions with Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri,” he said, referring to the ninth Malaysian prime minister.
“They provide excuses that don’t make sense. We have offered, but they refuse to accept it. What can we do?” he asked.
Nga was speaking to reporters at an event in Papar, Sabah. Recording of the press conference was made available to Malay Mail.
The minister also said that the conditions set were for the benefit of the country.
“For example, we requested that if funding is provided, wealthy opposition MPs [should] declare their assets, but they refuse.
“The second condition is to avoid spreading hatred that incites racial tension, but they refuse. Thus, they deliberately create turmoil in our country,” he said.
