"I have committed no offence and those making reports against me should be prepared to face the consequences of lodging false reports," he said at a press conference here yesterday.

"I will not be intimidated by anyone or any quarter.

"I stand by what I have said because the truth must prevail at all times" the Bukit Gelugor Member of Parliament said.
