Lahad Datu: I was misquoted by party paper, says Tian Chua

PKR vice-president Tian Chua has refuted his own party organ, blaming it for misquoting him in the issue over the security forces in Lahad Datu.

The Batu MP said his remarks published last Friday by Keadilan Daily, in which he claimed that the shooting was a conspiracy by Umno to divert public attention, had been taken out of context. Denying that he had insulted the security forces protecting the country's sovereignty in Lahad Datu, Tian Chua said he would leave it to the courts to clear his name.Denying that he had insulted the security forces protecting the country's sovereignty in Lahad Datu, Tian Chua said he would leave it to the courts to clear his name.
