PETALING JAYA: Perak PAS commissioner Razman Zakaria has apologised to Nga Kor Ming over a statement issued by him accusing the Teluk Intan MP of being involved in a parade where participants waved Chinese national flags.
In a statement posted to the Perak PAS Facebook page on Wednesday (Dec 11), Razman apologised and admitted that he had falsely accused the Housing and Local Government Minister of being present at the gathering.
He, however, clarified that the allegations stemmed from confusion over two separate events.
"I apologise unreservedly to Nga on the allegation and have removed the statement and undertake not to issue any similar claims in the future," he said in his post.
"These allegations were entirely unfounded and baseless," added Razman.
Razman had earlier claimed in the state assembly that Nga had officiated at the event.
It was reported that the DAP vice-chairman had made a police report on the allegations.
The controversy rose after a online video went viral showing a group of people waving Chinese flags near the Leaning Tower in Teluk Intan during a temple festival and parade on Oct 24.
