MP slams Mas Ermieyati for ‘senseless excuse’ on 1MDB probe

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: Subang MP Wong Chen has ticked off deputy law minister Mas Ermieyati Samsudin for what he says is a display of ignorance in her explanation of a delay in a probe related to the 1MDB scandal.

Wong said Mas Ermieyati gave a “totally unacceptable excuse” when she said that the closure of the Malaysia-Singapore border prevented authorities from completing their investigation on Tawfiq Ayman, the husband of former Bank Negara Malaysia governor Zeti Akhtar Aziz, over links to the scandal.

“Travel between Malaysia and Singapore has become so much easier under the Vaccinated Travel Lane programme,” he told FMT.
