“The report was published by the Wall Street Journal which is the one of the leading business newspaper in World. We just want them to respond what happened to the 1.4 billion US Dollar. In the same time, why didn’t the Prime Minister sue WSJ? Don’t try to divert attention from the report by making false allegations against Tony due to it is unethical, immoral and unparliamentary to call for the sacking of Tony without any proof. This is based on bad faith,” he added.
