(Malaysiakini)Prime
Minister Najib Abdul Razak has been urged to to clear his name by
answering the allegations raised against him by businessperson Deepak
Jaikishan, and not run away from the people's questions.
"Najib should not run from the questions of the public, especially on issues regarding governance, democratic development, economic management and the determination of national policies.
"The
people hope that the prime minister will be responsible enough to face
criticism and recommendations from the public and not merely act to find
cheap political publicity," PKR Youth information chief Lee Khai Loon (right) said in a statement today.
He also noted that the prime minister was mired in several scandals within his short tenure.
"PKR Youth sees Najib as a prime minister who is struck with the most scandals, although his tenure as the prime minister is the shortest in history, compared with the other prime ministers.
"Although there are many allegations made against Najib Razak, not a single explanation or answer has been given," Lee said.
Malaysians, he said, deserved to know the truth and if Najib found Deepak's accusations to be untrue and of bad intention, he should clear his name by taking court action against Deepak.
Instead, he claimed, the premier appeared to be abusing his power by suppressing whistleblowers and NGOs.
Rosmah-Altantuya links
Among Deepak's allegations for which the PKR Youth wing demanded a response to is Najib's wife Rosmah Mansor 's links to murdered Mongolian translator Alantuya Shaariibuu.
Deepak has also claimed that Najib's younger brother, Mohd Nazim Abdul Razak, paid private investigator P Balasubramaniam to sign a second statutory declaration (SD) to refute Najib's link to the case surrounding Alantuya's murder.
In another statement today, DAP's Puchong MP Gobind Singh Deo (left) also called on Najib and the attorney-general (AG) not to remain silent on the Alantuya case and to investigate it further.
"The recent claims by Deepak Jaikishan surrounding the making of a statutory declaration have added more fuel into a fire which just cannot seem to be put out.
"Attorney-General Abdul Gani Patail should respond to the allegations made by Deepak that ‘justice has not yet been done' in the case involving Altantuya," Gobind said in his statement.
"The prime minister has, in past cases involving suspicious deaths, recognised the need for full, 'no stone unturned' inquiries so as to get to the truth, to get justice for the families of the deceased," he added.
"So, why is it different with Altantuya? Why are we not pressing for answers to these most important aspects of the case?
"Isn't the prime minister, as head of the government, interested to know what actually happened, more so given the manner in which the murder was executed?"
"I challenge the prime minister to direct a full inquiry into these aspects of this case. We must get to the truth. The truth must prevail."
