Kulai MP Teo Nie Ching today rubbished the oral reply from Minister Azalina Othman Said to her question on the cost involved in a Permata programme in London in May.

"My question was, I wanted to know the cost for the trip to London, the details of the trip and what was the outcome of the visit by Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor (who is Permata patron) and two other ministers to London between May 4 and 10.

"I was surprised by the oral reply given by Azalina. She (Azalina) did not state at all the amount involved. This is a very bad answer. This is rubbish," Teo told a press conference at the Parliament lobby today...
