Taib refutes role in 'timber scam'

Sarawak Chief Minister Abdul Taib Mahmud has denied his cousins' claims that they were his intermediaries for logging contracts.

"Do you know that cousin? Did you find out what was the relationship between their father and me.

"We were fighting at one time. That cousin cannot be my most trusted, but up to you," Abdul Taib told reporters after attending a function at the Hilton Hotel, Kuching today.
