PETALING JAYA: PKR deputy president Nurul Izzah Anwar has rubbished claims that she and her husband, Khazanah Research Institute deputy director Yin Shao Loong, had taken a private jet to perform the haj pilgrimage in Makkah.
In a Facebook post, Nurul Izzah said the claim that she and Yin took a private jet was just one of many slanderous comments she had received.
The former MP said she and her husband had used their own savings to perform the haj, and that they had gone through a tour agency to arrange the logistics, including accommodation and transport.
“We took a commercial flight and used our own savings. There was no private jet, as claimed. We performed the haj just like millions of other pilgrims.
“While we may share different opinions and spar in the political arena, let’s not use this pilgrimage to spread accusations and slander,” she said.
