Azalina: External forces using back-handed tactics to topple PM



The continuous allegations against Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak show that there are "external forces" who are trying to interfere with the country's administration, said Minister in the Prime Minister Department's Azalina Othman Said.
"Maybe there are parties from within the country and outside who are trying to use back-handed tactics to topple the democratically-elected prime minister.
"The relentless attacks on the prime minister indicate that there are external forces who want to interfere with the administration of the country today," she said in a statement today.
The parties involved are seen to be "desperate", she said, to the point that they have to attack Najib personally.
She specifically cited the recent allegations made by The Wall Street Journal finance editor Ken Brown, who had refuted the attorney-general Mohamed Apandi Ali's claims that the RM2.6 billion in Najib's accounts was a donation from the Saudi royal family.
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and the Attorney-General's Chambers have both declared that the money in Najib's accounts did not come from 1MDB, she said.
Even Switzerland's attorney-general had confirmed that Najib was not among the individuals being investigated in their probe into 1MDB, she said.
Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had also explained this issue in Parliament on Dec 3 last year, she added.
"The matter is also clear, so all parties including WSJ should not play up this issue anymore.
"WSJ seems to have some personal interests when it keeps playing up this same issue," she said.
WSJ first broke the news in July last year on alleged financial improprieties involving sovereign fund 1MDB, linking the firm to movements of funds involving Najib and an alleged election slush fund. -Mkini
