Perkasa today proposed the government to be transparent and truthful in the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) probe.
Perkasa president, Datuk Ibrahim Ali said the probe is necessary to stop any speculation about the state of affairs concerning the national strategic development company.
“Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak administration must expedite all investigations concerning 1MDB which is under the purview of the Royal Malaysian Police and Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) for the rakyat in the country.
Datuk Ibrahim has urged the government to seek explanation on some matters from the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) after it filed lawsuits seeking to seize dozens of properties linked to 1MDB.
“Firstly, it is about the identity of an individual known as ‘Malaysian Official 1’ and described as "a high-ranking official in the Malaysian government who also held a position of authority with 1MDB".
“Subsequently, it is about the relation of ‘Malaysian Official 1’ with Riza Shahriz Abdul Aziz, a Malaysian whose name had been repeatedly mentioned in the writ of summons. The explanation is also necessary as the name, ‘Malaysian Official 1’ mentioned in the document cited the latter as related to Riza,” he added.
Datuk Ibrahim added that the matter has raised many questions that had inevitably led to the formation of negative perceptions among the rakyat.
“Don’t ridicule the rakyat who are now seeking for the truth about 1MDB, as the quarter seen to overthrow democracy in Malaysia,” said Datuk Ibrahim.
