00:00 Bersatu MP Azizi Abu Naim denied that he tried to influence party colleague Wan Saiful
00:07 Wan Jan into supporting the unity government.
00:10 Instead, the Guwamusang MP said Wan Saiful's accusations made in the Dewan Rakyat today
00:16 were exceedingly slanderous.
00:18 Azizi told FMT that the Tasek Galugor MP had in fact approached him, asking how he had
00:24 benefited from pledging his support for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
00:28 He said this happened when they bumped into each other at a cafe in a hotel in Kuala Lumpur.
00:34 Azizi said he told Wan Saiful that he received the same funding as other MPs in the unity
00:39 government.
00:40 FMT has reached out to the other MP named by Wan Saiful for comment.
00:45 Earlier today, Wan Saiful said two of the six Bersatu MPs who had declared their support
00:50 for Anwar tried to persuade him to do the same.
00:54 He said their offer to him included a parliamentary allocation of RM2 million, payment towards
00:58 his wife's medical expenses, money to cover legal fees incurred in his ongoing court case
01:04 and the possibility of dropping the charges brought against him.
