The Padang Rengas MP said during the debate at the committee stage on the Supply Bill 2021 the Perikatan Nasional coalition must fulfil what it had promised to do.

“What is wrong is wrong. Two wrongs don’t make a right,” he said, urging the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) and police not to indulge in selective prosecution or investigation.

Nazri was asked by Shamsul Iskandar Akin (PH-Hang Tuah Jaya) for his opinion on the investigation involving a video clip linked to a senior minister as the case “is now seen as closed”. Shamsul Iskandar did not name the individual.

After an investigation, Inspector-General of Police Abdul Hamid Bador had said the results of the facial recognition and analysis came back negative, adding that the identity of the other man in the video could not be linked to the minister.

Earlier, Nazri had said that PN had gone through several challenges and an “acid test”, further urging the governing coalition to keep to its promise to be “clean”.

He said the rakyat had hoped the Pakatan Harapan coalition would fulfil its manifesto but he claimed there was selective prosecution, with some cases withdrawn.

“But this is not good as it was part of their manifesto,” he said.

Due to that, he disagreed with any selective prosecution and urged the government to give a free hand to the MACC and AGC to carry out their duties without any interference.
