I refer to the report today in the New Straits Times daily alleging that Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim had instructed a bank CEO to transfer millions to certain accounts.
The report is false, irresponsible and politically motivated. The news report itself states that investigators found no evidence to support the allegations or bring the case to court, and the investigations were wrapped up as long ago as the year 2000. This proves that this allegation against Anwar was wild and baseless.
Despite this, the newspaper today published the front page report under the headline " Anwar gave order ". This is character assasination and gutter journalism of the lowest and most disgraceful kind.
Abandon such filthy politicking
It is disturbing that the Prime Minister and his ruling UMNO party have increasingly resorted to false and malicious personal attacks against key opposition leaders.
The NST, Utusan Malaysia and some other newspapers that regularly publish false reports against the opposition are owned by Najib's UMNO party.
It is impossible for these dailies to carry on publishing these irresponsible and vicious attacks without Najib's knowledge and approval. It is a measure of the Prime minister's current political desperation that he is resorting to these low tactics.
We call upon Prime Minister Najib to immediately abandon the politics of lies and slander, and instead engage the opposition in constructive and rational dialogue.
