Parliament Speaker Johari Abdul has formally requested that Deputy Prime Minister Zahid Hamidi submit documentation to clarify conflicting statements regarding the KKDW project. The written request, dated November 4, sets a deadline of next Thursday for the submission.
The call comes amid apparent inconsistencies in public statements about the project, prompting the Speaker to intervene. As the head of the lower house, Johari's request represents an official parliamentary matter requiring prompt response from the senior government official.
The KKDW project has been the subject of public scrutiny, with the varying accounts raising questions about project details and government accountability. By demanding evidence-backed clarification, the Speaker is seeking to establish an official record that reconciles the divergent claims.
The one-week timeline reflects the urgency with which Parliament views the matter. Zahid's response is expected to provide documentary evidence supporting a definitive account of the project's status and related statements made by government officials.
