The Barisan Nasional Backbenchers Club (BNBBC) chairman said in a report quoted by BNBBC.my that his meeting with the 1MDB president and group executive director was a normal practice in matters concerning public interest.
"As a lawmaker and president of the club, I need to get a complete understanding of important issues which doesn't only include 1MDB.
"The support by BN parliamentarians is based on facts and correct information, not just party loyalty," the Johor Baru MP said.
He was also cited as saying that BNBBC regularly gets briefed on various issues of public interest from relevant parties.
Shahrir said that Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan was present during the three-hour meeting in a Kuala Lumpur hotel on Wednesday.
"I also met Second Finance Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Husni Hanadzlah over the 1MDB issue,” he added.
The report also said that Shahrir expressed his views in both meetings that more funds were need to be injected into the firm in line with its liability without depending on public funds.
He was quoted as saying that 1MDB had valuable assets but the debt-ridden firm was inappropriately financed.

Enough of trying to make the people look like fools while trying to cover up the 1MDB mess. Just because PM is of low intelligence level, he shouldn't assume everyone is the same. Arul did not have time to meet PAC but plenty of time to meet Shahrir Samad?This is what will happen after this meeting;
1) BNBC will issue a statement supporting Najib while saying nothing wrong with 1MDB.
2) Shahrir will kawtim with Nur Jazlan for PAC findings since both are from Johor.
