Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak may be escorted out by the rakyat if he still refuses to go on leave pending a probe against him over allegations that RM2.6 billion was deposited into his personal accounts, said Bersih.

"Bersih calls on Najib to go on immediate leave and vacate the Finance Ministry position so as to allow a free and credible investigation.

"If he refuses, Bersih is confident and believes that Malaysians are prepared to escort him and his family out," it said in a statement today.

The ultimatum comes after the electoral reform group on Monday said it was considering a Bersih 4.0 rally if the authorities do not come clean about the controversy.

Contacted later, Bersih chief Maria Chin Abdullah said the protest which is usually held in Kuala Lumpur is unlikely to be held in Putrajaya where Najib's official residence is.

However, she said it would be a symbolic message to Najib's administration.

"We can send a delegation separately to Putrajaya to tell him to go out," she said.

For now, Bersih is calling on Najib to go on leave and make public the details of his personal accounts.

It is also calling on investigators to make public its probe and also freeze the bank accounts, the latter of which was done yesterday.

Bersih had set until August for its terms to be met or face the possibility of a Bersih 4.0 rally.

The electoral watchdog renewed its calls after The Wall Street Journal yesterday released bank documents to support its report.

Najib has denied the allegation and blamed former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad for masterming such reports to oust him. -Mkini
