PKR deputy president Mohamed Azmin Ali says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak ‘deliberately interfered’ with the ongoing probe into 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) in order to ‘save his own skin’. – The Malaysian Insider file pic, August 17, 2015.
Datuk Seri Najib Razak "deliberately interfered" with the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) investigations, going by revelations from Barisan Nasional's (BN) communications director, PKR deputy president Mohamed Azmin Ali said today.
He said BN strategic communications director Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan's interview in The Sunday Star yesterday showed Najib had resorted to the "drastic action" to "save his own skin".
"From Rahman’s account, the prime minister unleashed ‘a flurry of action’ in order to prevent himself from being prosecuted.
"We take it that this ‘flurry of action’ refers to the PM sacking Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and four ministers, replacing at lightning speed the attorney-general Tan Sri Gani Patail, disbanding the 1MDB task force and presumably ordering the IGP to unleash his own ‘flurry of action’ – raiding, arresting and transfer of Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officers and interrogating Bank Negara personnel.
"What Rahman has said essentially means that the prime minister had deliberately interfered with an ongoing investigation that was being undertaken by the 1MDB special task force comprising the highest echelons of the nation’s law and regulatory agencies," Azmin said in a statement, adding, "To my mind, such an interference may amount to criminal acts both under the Penal Code and the MACC Act (Section 186 and Section 48 respectively)".
