DEPUTY Foreign Minister Marzuki Yahya said today he would leave it to the police to investigate a claim by a Facebook user claiming that he did not pursue a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from the University of Cambridge.

He said he would produce proof he had pursued a course in the field at the university.

“I regard this as a political game. I don’t feel like commenting much about this. Let’s leave it to the police. The important thing is for me to discharge my duty well without any problem. It is important that we give preference to our duty, responsibility and country.

“InsyaAllah (God willing), I will produce the proof, but not report to him. I will prove it, no problem,” he told reporters at the Chinese New Year open house organised by the Penang Chinese Chamber of Commerce in George Town today.

Political activist Muhsin Abdul Latheef had yesterday lodged a police report over a Facebook user’s claim in a post on Sunday that the University of Cambridge did not offer a distance-learning programme in business administration that Marzuki claims to have pursued.

On whether the Bersatu Penang chairman would consider taking legal action, Marzuki said: “If this matter is prolonged, we will find the best solution.” – Bernama, February 5, 2019.
