Datuk Nallakaruppan, a former close aide of Anwar Ibrahim, has been appointed a Senator by the Federal Government.The Malaysian Indian United Party (MIUP) President, known as Anwar’s “tennis partner” at the time the former Deputy Prime Minister was charged with sodomy in 1998, told The Malaysian Insider today that he received his letter of appointment last week.
“I will be sworn in tomorrow,” he said, calling it “an honour” for the MIUP, which has pledged its support to Barisan Nasional (BN). Popularly known as Nalla, is the second former close associate of Opposition Leader Anwar to be given a senatorship by BN....
The PKR de facto leader’s former political secretary Ezam Mohd Nor was also made Senator after rejoining UMNO in 2008.Both Ezam and Nalla have been critical of Anwar since leaving PKR in 2007.
