MPs ask for debate on Sulu claims, to get briefing at hotel instead

The government will hold a closed-door briefing session at a hotel in Kuala Lumpur tonight for parliamentarians on claims over Petronas assets by the purported heirs of the Sulu sultanate.

While Dewan Rakyat speaker Azhar Azizan Harun had yesterday rejected calls for the Lower House to debate the matter, tonight’s briefing by three ministers will be held at the Seri Pacific Hotel.
