Kinabatangan MP Datuk Bung Moktar Radin, who has denied marrying film star Zizie Ezette, has flown back to his constituency for "an important job" and he will reveal the "good news" when the time is right.

“It is not the right time for me to comment at the moment. I need to protect many people. I don’t want to hurt the feelings of others,’’ said Bung Moktar when contacted over the phone Thursday.

He also rubbished rumours of him having married Zizie at a five-star hotel in Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday night.

Bung, who is also the deputy chairman of the Backbenchers’ Club, has taken leave from the Dewan Rakyat for two days although Thursday was the last day of the Parliament sitting for the year.

“I’m in my kawasan (constituency) in Kinabatangan to a job, a very important job. I've got the permission from Chief (Barisan Nasional deputy whip Datuk Seri Nazri Abd Aziz) to be away from the Dewan Rakyat,’’ said Bung.

When asked about his new hairstyle, Bung said many of his colleagues have also dyed their hair.

“Why did not you ask them? Don’t speculate, Please don’t damage me, my dear,’’ he said.

Bung Moktar was in a very good mood and laughed throughout the phone conversation.

“In life we must be happy. Today all newspapers highlighted about me. They have their job to do. I also have my responsibility and job to do,’’ he said.

He also stressed the need to be fair to and to avoid hurting “others”.

Rumours are abuzz that Zizie is engaged to the 50-year-old outspoken and controversial politician. who has been seen sporting a new hairstyle for the past few days. Zizie had admitted to their relationship, but declined to confirm the marriage rumours.

Without naming names, Zizie admitted that she said she was considering a marriage proposal from an MP from Sabah.

Her mother, Kathy Fauziah, had also admitted that Bung Moktar had gone to her house in Bukit Antarabangsa for dinner last week to get to know the family better.

Bung Moktar’s close friends in Parliament however claimed that they were not aware of the development.

His good friend, Datuk Mohamad Aziz (BN - Sri Gading) said: "He is selamat (safe), that is all I can say. I have no further details.''

Mohamad said it is up to press to interprete the meaning of "selamat".
