Speaking to reporters after the state assembly sitting here today, he said he was aware of the matter and was prepared to answer all allegations at the winding-up of the debate on Budget 2018.
“It is actually a court matter (the trial is ongoing), so I am not going to talk about it outside (the assembly), wait for Monday. I am not going to run, I am here,” he said.
At the assembly on Monday, Senai state assemblywoman Wong Shu Qi had asked about the allegation that Khaled had accepted a sum of money from developers to convert the status of housing lots from Bumiputera to non-Bumiputera.
This followed the posting of several documents on a blog which allegedly included the statement of a witness in the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission probe into a property scandal involving former state housing and local government committee exco Abd Latif Bandi.
The witness was believed to have lodged a police report here yesterday on the matter, urging them to investigate the blogger.
