I have emailed to the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak to ask him to fix an appointment next week for him to show me and DAP National Publicity Secretary and MP for PJ Utara, Tony Pua, where in the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) Report on 1MDB he is absolved of any wrongdoing in the 1MDB scandal which had transformed Malaysia overnight into a global kleptocracy.

Najib’s claim that he had been cleared of any wrongdoing in the PAC report over 1MBD is false and baseless, and the latest example of the “fake news” concocted and peddled by those-in-power in Putrajaya.

Or did Najib make an honest mistake, and it was the Auditor-General’s Report on 1MDB (which has been barred from the public because of another one of the extraordinary directives of the Speaker, Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia) which cleared him of any wrongdoing in the 1MDB scandal and not the PAC Report – and if so, I am prepared to accept such an “honest mistake” provided he shows me chapter and verse of such exoneration in the Auditor-General’s Report.

If Najib is not prepared to retract his false and baseless claim that he had been cleared of any wrongdoing in the PAC report over 1MDB, are the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MACC) and Police prepared to open investigations, including interrogating the Prime Minister, for concocting and peddling false news?

After all, only this morning at the 211st Police Day at the police training centre here, Najib denied that the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) is the government’s lackey, saying that such allegations are “absolutely unfounded”.

Will we see police action against Najib for perpetrating the fake news that the PAC Report had absolved him any wrongdoing in the 1MDB scandal, or will the Police and the Inspector-General of Police remain inelegantly silent?

If there is no reply from Najib to my email and no meeting for him to show me the chapter and verse in the PAC Report on 1MDB absolving him of any wrongdoing in the 1MDB scandal, I will proceed with the plan to hold a nation-wide forum in each state on whether Najib had been cleared of wrongdoing in the PAC report over 1MDB.

Najib is welcome to attend every such forum or to send a representative to the forum.

Najib will be informed when such a programme for nation-wide forum on whether the PAC Report on 1MDB had exonerated Najib has been finalized, so that Najib could either attend personally or send a representative.

The launching of the national series of 1MDB forums could be held as early as in a week’s time in view of the importance and urgency of the issue, especially as Malaysians are being humiliated worldwide by the three Is of infamy, ingnominy and iniquity of being regarded worldwide as a global kleptocracy.
