The Royal Selangor Club (RSC) has denied allegations that it had cancelled a booking by former de factor law minister Zaid Ibrahim due to political pressure.

“The RSC is solely a social and sporting members’ club. Members are permitted to book the available function rooms for personal, social, and sporting events only.
