Wan Saiful, who is Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) supreme council member, said he would adhere to the request.
"However, what I want to know is what action will be taken to stop the use of public funds to entice Bersatu members of parliament.
"Wouldn't it be better if the funds were used for the people's welfare?" he wrote.
Wan Saiful caused a stir in the Dewan Rakyat today when he claimed that he was offered a substantial amount to pledge his support for the prime minister.
