KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 12 — Former Finance Ministry official Tony Pua today acknowledged that he may have offended a certain gaming businessman with close links to former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad when Pakatan Harapan was government.
He hazarded a guess that the complainant could be a certain Chinese businessman who once lobbied the Finance Ministry and Dr Mahathir to extend his gaming business licence, but claimed that he had not interfered with any ministerial decisions on the matter. “I made it a point to avoid the businessman as far as humanly possible. I knew for a fact that he was lobbying certain other Ministers for support, even after the initial proposal was rejected. The fact that I’m the Political Secretary, and burdened with the myth that I was the ‘power broker’ behind the Finance Minister, I could very well be deemed ‘very arrogant’ for being extremely evasive,” the DAP politician said in a statement.
He maintained that throughout his 20-month stint as Lim’s political secretary, he encountered too many people who made countless business proposals. “As a matter of habit, I tend to decline lunch or dinner invitations from tycoons and businessmen because they take too much time, and there’s probably too much small talk.

Name Chinese businessman who said I was arrogant, Tony Pua tells Dr Mahathir | The Malaysian InsightName Chinese businessman who said I was arrogant, Tony Pua tells Dr Mahathir Just accept it, Pua. When Tommy Thomas accusing Tun with things in his book, PH and DAP clapped hands. Don’t be selective and defending when others criticise you. No one is holier than thou! Tony, just ignore lah. The people know who's arrogant or recalcitrant. Though the nonagenarian was efficient, knowledgeable and experienced, he expected everyone else like himself. Well, he too had weaknesses that engulfed him and eventually cost him his Prime Ministership.
