Chin Tong urges Cabinet to act, after Muhyiddin puts up a strong challenge.

KUALA LUMPUR: Najib Razak has been urged to stand down as finance minister so that a full independent investigation may be carried out into the troubled 1Malaysia Development Bhd.
Kluang MP Liew Chin Tong said members of the Cabinet should demand that the prime minister relinquish his finance portfolio.
He said the statement by Najib’s deputy, Muhyiddin Yassin, had put up a strong challenge to Najib by calling for an investigation by the Public Accounts Committee and not wait for the Auditor-General, who has been ordered by Najib to verify 1MDB’s accounts.
“It is the clearest indication of an impending challenge to Najib’s premiership by Muhyiddin,” said Liew. Muhyiddin’s statement alone was sufficient to move for Najib’s removal, he said.
Muhyiddin had said the Auditor-General should audit freely and independently up to 2009 when 1MDB began; the Public Accounts Committee should begin investigations without waiting for the Auditor-General; that 1MDB must not be bailed out, questioning the proposed disposals of lands such as that of the Tun Razak Exchange and Bandar Malaysia which were obtained at very low price.
