The former minister of rural development and environmental sustainability stated that the meeting aimed to discuss a joint project with his colleagues.\n\nNik Nazmi clarified that he and a single woman were present at the location when Jais officers arrived. He emphasized that no improper act took place, which could create suspicion. \"I admit that it was an error,\" he apologized to his wife, family, and all parties affected by his mistaken judgment. Nik Nazmi further pledged cooperation if involved in any legal proceedings.\n\nIn addition, he expressed remorse for disappointing Bersatu (Parti Bersatu Malaysia) members and supporters, and confirmed his willingness to accept whatever decision the party makes regarding the issue.
