There is a more urgent need for the authorities to resolve the racial tensions following the Low Yat Plaza incident rather than the scandal surrounding 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), PKR's Rafizi Ramli said today.
The Pandan MP, who is among 1MDB's staunchest critics, said this was because race relations in Malaysia were very "delicate", adding there was a need for immediate attention from the government.
"In my opinion, which is maybe very different from what the other MPs think, if we need to divert our attention to this issue to resolve it, we should.
"We should resolve this first," Rafizi told reporters after he and other opposition lawmakers visited Low Yat Plaza this afternoon.
However, this did not mean that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak could get away with the 1MDB issues, the PKR secretary-general said.
"So if Najib feels that what happened in Low Yat will divert the attention away from 1MDB, it won't happen.
"I am not worried that people will be diverted from the 1MDB issue by this, because the evidence and controversies surrounding 1MDB are overwhelming and it will come back to haunt Najib," he added.
