Tony Pua dismisses 'false allegations’ in Dr M’s book, says could never have ‘threatened’ property developer as they never met


PETALING JAYA: Tony Pua has denied allegations of threatening a property developer, who had faced financial problems in a joint venture project with the government to develop a multi-billion-ringgit complex in Kuala Lumpur, as mentioned in former premier Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s upcoming book.

Describing it as false allegations, the Damansara MP, who was the political secretary to then finance minister Lim Guan Eng, said this was not the first time Dr Mahathir had made the accusation.
