PUTRAJAYA – Besut MP Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh, who is also Felda chairman, today lodged a report at the Putrajaya district police headquarters (IPD) to reiterate that he is not supporting Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to be prime minister, as had been alleged.
Outside the Putrajaya IPD, Idris said making a police report was the best way for him to state his position and stop his name from being linked to Anwar.
"I have never been contacted (by Anwar) and have never given my support (to Anwar) but said to be supporting him. I don’t understand. I had already issued a media statement before this, refuting that I supported Anwar, but this was ignored," he said.
Idris described the allegation that he supported Anwar as an act of desperation.
In a statement issued to the media outside the IPD, Idris said that on October 6, he was informed by an officer that his name was mentioned on an online article titled, 'Gempar!!! Senarai 121 ahli Parlimen Sokong Anwar Tular’.
Idris said he then found himself named as one of the 121 MPs said to be supporting the proposed appointment of the Port Dickson MP (Anwar) as the next prime minister.
Putrajaya district police chief, ACP Mohd Fadzil Ali confirmed receiving the report. – Bernama, October 11, 2020
