‘Najib must be firm at special sitting of Parliament’

Malaysia should take a more assertive role in the MH17 tragedy to pressure Russia to stop supporting the rebels, says Klang MP.
najibPETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak must send a clear message to the foreign governments to pressure Russia to stop its support for the violent separatists at the emergency parliamentary sitting on Wednesday, Klang MP Charles Santiago said today.
“I understand that things were murky when Najib called for a press conference on Friday morning, but we have yet to see anything assertive from him,” said Santiago in a statement today.
He said several powerful world leaders had already spoken strongly on the tragedy.
“I hope that Najib will be more assertive when all lawmakers meet in Parliament on Wednesday,” he added.
Emerging details are pointing at the pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine for shooting down Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 on July 17, killing all 298 passengers and crew onboard.
Santiago said the crash site was under the control of pro-Russian rebels and a safe working environment was needed for the investigators to work efficiently.
“Clearly there is a lot of groundwork to cover before that happens”, said Santiago referring to the rebels who fired their guns close to where the international investigators were working.
The Parliament needs to look at this issues closely at Wednesday’s meeting.
He said the best person to initiate a dialogue to end the conflict between the rebel groups was Putin.
“However, if efforts to rein in Putin does not materialise, sanctions should be imposed against Russia,” said Santiago suggesting that FIFA could replace Russia as the 2018 host for the World Cup.
“Parliament needs to collectively send the message to the outside world or the meeting would be a waste of time,” he said.
