DAP today condemned the three-minute response of Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi to the RM2.6 billion fiasco as a waste of time and an act of cowardice not to face the controversy.

Kluang MP Liew Chin Tong said given that the RM 2.6 billion issue has tarnished the name of country, Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak should be referred to Privileges and Rights Committee.
