Najib clarifies Ahmad Maslan’s ‘cruel court cases’ remark
Najib Razak said Ahmad Maslan’s statement had specifically referred to forfeiture cases and compound fines imposed on various people, including those in the party.
PETALING JAYA: Former prime minister Najib Razak today sought to clarify Barisan Nasional secretary-general Ahmad Maslan’s recent remarks on “cruel” court cases against Umno leaders being continued by the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government.
Ahmad had been quoted as saying that one of Umno’s disagreements with PPBM and PN was how the ruling government had continued with court cases against certain party leaders. Ahmad had said this outweighed the party’s dissatisfaction over positions in the government.
Najib clarified that the Pontian MP was only lamenting how the PN government had failed to correct the abuse of power by the previous Pakatan Harapan (PH) administration.
He said many, including “certain Umno leaders”, had also intentionally taken Ahmad’s comments out of context on the cases that were being referred to.
According to Najib, Maslan’s statement had specifically referred to the forfeiture cases and compound fines imposed on various people, including those in the party.
“Why did 80 persons have seizure orders issued against them while 41 others were charged and fined up to 10 times the amount of money paid by me when the issue was that they had received payments from me?
“The reality is that simply receiving payments from me some years ago is not a crime. The recipient wouldn’t know the source of these funds.
“Also, Mas Ermieyati Samsudin and Mustapa Mohamad had received payments from me but there was no action against them after they jumped (to PPBM). However, Ahmad and Shahrir Samad were charged in court,” Najib said in a Facebook post.
He maintained that PH had abused its powers in prosecuting Umno leaders, citing the appointments of Tommy Thomas, Latheefa Koya and Richard Malanjum as attorney-general, Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission chief and chief justice respectively.
“Do you still want to deny that there was no abuse of power or manipulation of the Malaysian legal system?”

Eh....when Jibby was PM he had chan to investigate Toonsie for all those scandals in the 80s and 90s, like getting Petronas to bail out his son.
ReplyDeleteJibby had all the evidence available to him as PM but he did nothing. Buat Tak Tahu. Was that abuse of power too, because Toonsie was fren fren and still useful at that time?
But when Guanee got discount for a house-with-no-kolam-ikan, straight away Jibby's MACC pounce on the case.
Why keep giving the Loudhailer to this Corrupt Convicted Criminal to disseminate his self-serving Bullshit ?
ReplyDeleteeven a dumb know who mazlan is referring to, lge of course.
ReplyDeleteKT is feeding on Non-Halal Bovine Crap. Or maybe it was Jakim-certified Halal ha ha ha...
ReplyDeleteJibby himself was already convicted and sentenced to jail for abuse of power, for stealing gomen workers' pencen money.

KUALA LUMPUR (July 28): Former premier Datuk Seri Najib Razak was today found guilty by the High Court here of all seven charges of abuse of power, criminal breach of trust and money laundering in relation to RM42 million belonging to SRC International Sdn Bhd.
In delivering his verdict, High Court judge Justice Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali said the case had been proven beyond reasonable doubt as the defence failed to rebut the prosecution's case.
Najib was slapped with three criminal breach of trust charges as a public servant and agent of the government, namely the prime minister, finance minister, and SRC International adviser emeritus, for misappropriating RM27 million and RM5 million in December 2014, and another RM10 million in February 2015.
The funds were part of two loans from the Retirement Fund, Inc (KWAP) to SRC worth a total of RM4 billion.
Meanwhile, he was also charged with one count of abusing his power. Najib, as prime minister and finance minister, had used his position to commit bribery involving RM42 million through his participation or involvement in the decision to provide government guarantees for the KWAP loans to SRC.
