STOP SPOILING ROSMAH, NAJIB! Your dad's good name is at stake!

STOP SPOILING ROSMAH, NAJIB! Your dad's good name is at stake!
Elegant Silence is no option for the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak to the swirling national and international controversy since the New York Times report on Feb. 9, 2015 quoting a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) attributing his expenditure, including the multi-million dollar purchases of his wife’s jewellery, to his inheritance.
The PMO statement to New York Times said:
“Neither any money spent on travel, nor any jewellery purchases, nor the alleged contents of any safes are unusual for a person of the prime minister’s position, responsibilities and legacy family assets.”
Two weeks after the New York Times report, the four brothers of the Prime Minister expressed concern over news reports regarding inheritance said to be from their father, Tun Razak Hussein, the second Prime Minister of Malaysia.
In a rare private statement, Najib’s four younger brothers Johari, Nizam, Nazim and Nazir expressed worry that the name of their father, who was known for his frugality, would be tarnished by such talks of family assets.
They said: "We are extremely concerned that some recent news ​articles and postings​ have given rise to speculation as to the nature and extent of the inheritance that our​ late​ father, Abdul ​R​azak​, ​had ​left​ behind.
"We wish to put on record that Abdul Razak was a ​highly-principled man, well known to all ​who knew him ​for his frugality and utmost integrity​ and any statement or inference to the contrary would be totally false and misleading to his memory and to his service and sacrifices for the nation.​
"We take issue with anyone who taints his memory, whatever the motive. We would also like to add that our whole family is united on this issue."
I can vouch that Tun Razak was known for his frugality and utmost integrity as I had on no occasion in my years in Parliament from 1971 – 1976 when Razak was the Prime Minister to raise any issue casting any doubt on his integrity.
As the reputation of two Prime Ministers – father-and-son – are at stake, Najib must answer simply and fully to all the swirling controversies arising since the New York Times report on Feb. 9 and not await until the matter is pursued by MPs in Parliament when reconvened on 9th March.
Or is Najib preparing to make a Ministerial statement on the subject on the first debate day of Parliament on May 10?
