IPOH: Perak State Assembly Speaker V. Sivakumar said today he deemed the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Agency (MACC) probe on him for suspending Menteri Besar Datuk Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir and six of his executive councillors from attending state assembly sittings, as an insult.
“I consider this an insult to the legislature, but nevertheless, I gave my full cooperation in the probe,” he told reporters after being interviewed by two MACC officers from Putrajaya at the Menteri Besar’s official residence here today.
He added that he could not understand the need for his being questioned when he was only discharging his duties and the whole episode seemed more like “harassment” and an affront to the doctrine of separation of powers in a democracy.
Yesterday, he was interviewed by police at his law office here over the same matter.
The probes came in the wake of reports lodged against him with the police and the MACC over his action in the suspensions of Zambry and the excos.
