KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 14 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak (pic) said Wisma Putra had been tasked to explain the facts pertaining to Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s sodomy case to Australian lawmakers for them to get a clearer of the case.
Najib said the Australian lawmakers probably did not know the real situation.
“We will explain and engage with the Autralian MPs. Wisma Putra will handle that,” he said when asked on steps taken by Malaysia on the matter.
Najib was met by reporters at a Chinese New Year open house organised by Gerakan at Dewan Wawasan, Menara PGRM in Cheras, here, today.
It was reported that more than 50 Australian lawmakers had lodged a formal protest, urging Malaysia to drop Anwar’s sodomy trial.
Member of governing Labor party Michael Danby handed the protest note to Malaysian High Commissioner Salman Ahmad in Canberra on Friday.
Also present at the open house were Najib’s wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and his wife Puan Sri Norainee Abdul Rahman.
Najib and Muhyiddin spent more than an hour at the function which was attended by more than 3,000 people. — Bernama
