I didn’t write to PM seeking a cover-up, says Saravanan

Former human resources minister M Saravanan asserted he did not write to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim seeking a cover-up during his legal proceedings. At a press conference, Saravanan confirmed his letter to the prime minister was to request a thorough review of his charges, claiming the allegations were not credible. He expressed no shame over the charges, confident of being acquitted, stating those accusing him would be the ones left ashamed when the truth emerged.

Saravanan, MP for Tapah, denied knowledge of the individuals and entities named in the charge sheet, reaffirming his willingness to cooperate fully with the legal process. He urged authorities to expedite his trial, aiming to clear his name promptly. Saravanan believed the trial would provide the public with a clearer understanding of Malaysian politics and its politicians.
