On its own, it does little to restore shaken public and investor confidence,” he said.Meanwhile, in a separate story, PKR Youth chief Kamil Abdul Munim said he respects any proposal to establish an RCI, and agrees in principle that the truth must be upheld through a transparent, legally grounded process.However, he added that demands for an RCI should not be based solely on hearsay, assumptions, or innuendo. They must rest on strong and convincing evidence.Earlier today, the MACC had issued a second firm denial on the claims and dismissed them as baseless.___________________📌 Share this news!
