MALAYSIA's top banker Nazir Razak has countered a buzz of excitement fanned by a recent online report that he was setting up and backing a new "non-partisan political party" in the country.
"This is not true," he said in a statment, after several Malaysian news outlets picked up a Hong-Kong based news portal's report that he had been "quietly meeting" with business leaders in his office in UK and in Malaysia to form a "well-funded" new party that would reach out to all races.
