Former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad has said that it's Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak who doesn't follow the rule of law, and not the public.
This is after Najib said the Mahathir-led Citizens' Declaration was not accepted by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong for not being "in accordance with the constitution".
"Actually the Malaysian constitution provides various ways to deal with problems faced by the country, and this includes embezzlement by the prime minister.
"Read the constitution before making a statement that the people did not act in accordance with the constitution.
"Don't reprimand people for not following the law when you yourself don't follow it, but actually obstructing justice," Mahathir wrote in his blog today.
Mahathir had met with the Agong last week, and handed to him the Save Malaysia movement's Citizens' Declaration, which among others called for Najib to quit office.
Najib on Wednesday however said the Agong had taken notice of the matter that was brought up by Mahathir.
"However, the Agong explained to Mahathir that he cannot be involved in what Bersatu is doing.
“This is as the declaration made by Bersatu was not in accordance with the constitution. Any action should be in line with accepted practices via the Parliament and electoral system for the rakyat to make their decision,” the premier had said in a statement.
Mahathir in his blog said under Najib, the people who lodged police reports about billions of public funds were questioned instead.
He also said reports by Bank Negara and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) were rejected by the attorney-general Mohamed Apandi Ali, allegedly because there's no case against Najib.
A vote of no confidence in Parliament meanwhile, can't take place he said, because BN lawmakers had been fed 'dedak' (animal feed), threatened or sacked.
"They (the BN lawmakers) are not free. Once again Najib has denied the legal process for the people's wellbeing," he said,
Mahathir and the opposition have been pressuring Najib to step down, accusing him of corruption.
The premier however has denied these allegations, while Apandi has cleared him of any criminal misconduct. -Mkini
