KUALA LUMPUR: A senior backbench lawmaker wants Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz to correct an erroneous statement made by his predecessor in Parliament over the Goods and Service Tax (GST) refund.
"Will the ministry through the Finance Minister, make a Minister's Statement in Parliament to deny the accusations by Bagan (former Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng) that the previous government had 'robbed' the RM19.4bil GST refund," Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan (BN-Pontian) said in the Dewan Rakyat on Monday (Aug 3).
