DAP’s Lim Kit Siang has released a statement, as reported by Malaymail suggesting that Umno and its leaders have to clearly condemn Datuk Seri Najib Razak and his 1MDB involvement if they are planning to stay out of any predicaments related to the scandal.
Lim said,
“Many steps have to be taken before Umno can wash its hands of the 1MDB scandal – and the steps must include the condemnation of Najib and the 1MDB scandal by Umno leaders as well as an Umno general assembly resolution to formally condemn and denounce Najib and the 1MDB scandal.”
His reaction was prompted by Umno deputy president Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan’s intention to ensure the party does not get involved any further with the former prime minister and the growing charges being pressed on him.
Mohamad stated that Umno should not be connected any further to the scandal which is currently under investigation by six international jurisdictions. He also stressed that Umno is completely innocent. He, however did not say the same thing about Najib.
