DAP today asked if the Cabinet meeting tomorrow will support Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin's proposal to release publicly the auditor-general’s interim report on troubled 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).
DAP parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang said he was also "shocked" over Muhyiddin's admission that he had to depend on suspended business publications, The Edge Financial Daily and The Edge Weekly, for information on 1MDB.
Muhyiddin also said he was rebuked by his fellow ministers for relying on The Edge reports to understand the scandal.
"What has our Cabinet degenerated into? A cabinet of the ignoramus?
"I applaud Muhyiddin's support for the auditor-general’s interim report on 1MDB to be made public," he said at a press conference at the DAP headquarters in Kuala Lumpur today.
Last night, Muhyiddin said he had no objections if the auditor-general's interim report on 1MDB was made public.
"I don’t have any objection to this. If the report is made public, no one will ask if the international news agencies were distorting the 1MDB reports,” he had said at the opening of the Cheras Umno division meeting.
Muhyiddin had said his Cabinet colleagues, Datuk Seri Ahmad Husni Hanadzlah and Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan, had issued statements to explain the 1MDB situation but these had done little to ease public scepticism on the matter.
"Who should tell you the truth? It is the prime minister. But he said wait for the PAC and audit report. So wait, wait and wait. I have yet to even read the (auditor-general's) interim report," he said, adding the best way to convince the public now was to make all reports on the matter public as this would help regain public trust.
