PRESS STATEMENT
27 JANUARY 2016
The Attorney General’s outrageous decision to clear
Najib Razak of wrongdoing in spite of the purported recommendation by the MACC that
he be charged with criminal misappropriation is an insult to the intelligence
of Malaysians and a betrayal of the office the AG holds. Not that anyone should be
surprised, given the circumstances of his appointment.
So many commentaries and comments have been made but
there is only one conclusion if Malaysia is to be saved from complete and utter
ruin. There are no two ways about it: Najib must go. For Najib to go, UMNO must
go, and for UMNO to go, BN must go. Only then can we begin to rebuild this
country with a new and clean administration. Only then can we appoint
individuals with impeccable credibility and integrity to head our institutions
and enforcement agencies, particularly the office of the Attorney General, who has
the power to prosecute wrongdoers.
As long as UMNO and BN hold the reins in this country,
we can debate and talk until the cows come home. Nothing will change except for
the worse. We’ve had the Bersih rallies; we have former political leaders like
Dr Mahathir, Rafidah Aziz and Zaid Ibrahim; we have NGOs, civil society groups
and former top civil servants such as the GE25 calling for change and yet Najib
Razak is unmoved, while the people continue to suffer. The economy has taken
such a hard knock recently, and Tun Daim has said that the country is heading
for bankruptcy. The long-suffering people will have to be prepared to face the
brunt of it.
Many people in UMNO are silently angry and frustrated
but they cannot or will not speak up. The self-serving UMNO leaders and
ministers are not going to suddenly find their conscience and question their
supreme leader. The only thing I can hope for is that some courageous person
from the Saudi royal family will come forward to admit or deny the claim that
the donation came from the late King Abdullah. However, even if it is admitted,
with the current crop of law enforcement heads and prosecutors, we have no hope
of holding the PM accountable for his misdeeds.
Ultimately, it is the ordinary Malaysian who has the
real power to remove this ignominious PM from his ‘throne’. I urge Sarawakians to
lead the way during the upcoming elections to say ‘ENOUGH!’ to UMNO/BN.
