PETALING JAYA: Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong is expected to be referred to the Parliamentary Rights and Privileges Committee.

"I am expecting Kampar MP to propose a motion under Standing Order 36(1) which I had mentioned on Feb 20," said Dr Wee on Facebook on Monday (Feb 24).

"Let us wait and see what will happen next. I am not afraid nor am I running away," the Ayer Hitam MP added.

Recently, Dr Wee and Kam­par MP Chong Zhe­min traded barbs about the Employees Provident Fund’s (EPF) sale and repurchase of Malaysian Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB) shares.

Chong alleged that Dr Wee had misled the House by claiming that EPF had made losses in the MAHB share transaction.

Pemuda Harapan deputy chief Ammar Atan had reportedly said the retirement fund should consider taking legal action against Dr Wee as the latter’s statements on the issue were not based on facts and had a "hidden agenda".

But Dr Wee said he only wanted the truth to prevail and the public’s interest to be protected.

"I’ve been in Parliament for a long time. I’m with the government and I do support the government.

"But I cannot stand it when there is a particular individual or group that deliberately says I’m saying untrue things.

"I asked for an explanation in an orderly manner and with decorum.

"I want to do the right thing and will always defend the interest of the rakyat, especially the contri­butors (of EPF)," he said.
