“Of course there are certain things that we talk about, one cannot meet with the PM just for small talk,” added the MB when asked, after officiating the Wira Negara campaign in Kampung Cherang near Kota Baru this afternoon, what transpired with Najib,
Nik Aziz also refused to comment whether the meeting touched on the sensitive subject of the Malay royalty.
“I can’t say anything because it is a closed meeting,” he reiterated.
Meanwhile, Nik Aziz’s press secretary Ahmad Fadhlu Shaari when contacted, said that further explanation on the matter will be forthcoming soon.
“He (Nik Aziz), will give a statement (on the meeting) within the next 24 hours,” he said.
