DAP slams Umno leader’s ‘stupid Jewish link’ claim

DAP national organising secretary Anthony Loke says Umno leaders should not try to abuse Islam and turn a RM2.6 billion ‘donation’ halal. – The Malaysian Insider file pic, August 22, 2015.DAP national organising secretary Anthony Loke says Umno leaders should not try to abuse Islam and turn a RM2.6 billion ‘donation’ halal. – The Malaysian Insider file pic, August 22, 2015.
DAP has rubbished claims that it is funded by the Jews, as alleged today by an Umno deputy minister who defended the RM2.6 billion "donation" to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
Anthony Loke, who is DAP national organising secretary, said Umno leaders should not misuse the name of Islam to make halal the money credited into Najib's accounts.
"Umno leaders seem not ashamed to misuse the name of Islam and to 'defend' Islam to make halal the money," he said in a statement today.
Earlier today, Umno division leader Datuk Abdul Aziz Kaprawi said the Middle-Eastern donor, who gave US$700 million (RM2.6 billion) to Najib, made the contribution so that Umno could fight DAP, which is funded by the Jews, during the 2013 general election.
The Sri Gading Umno chief said the donor feared that through DAP, Jewish influences would permeate the country and destroy the "Islamic government" led by Barisan Nasional (BN).
"If we had lost, DAP would be in power. DAP with its Jewish funding would control this country. Based on that, our Muslim friends in the Middle East could see the Jewish threat through DAP," said Aziz, who is also deputy transport minister.
"If it reached the Islamic government, it would be overthrown, and that would destroy the Islamic struggle throughout the world. Because Najib is seen as a great Muslim leader in this region."
Aziz's claims come about a week after Kuantan Umno division leader Wan Adnan Wan Mamat said the RM2.6 billion was donated to Najib by Saudi Arabia in appreciation for fighting Isis (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) militants.
Loke, who is Seremban MP, asked if the Umno leaders how stupid they appeared and that "they knew no bounds" in their race to save and defend Najib.
"I don't care if Umno leaders want to show their stupidity but do not fool the rakyat and think that Malaysians have no brains to think," he added.
He said if what Aziz had said was true, the matter would have been exposed during the GE13 campaign period by Umno propagandists to "destroy" DAP and not revealed some 27 months later.
"For the record, DAP only faced Umno in two parliamentary seats –Gelang Patah in Johor and Sepanggar in Sabah in GE13. 
"Did Umno need RM2.6 billion to fight DAP in those two parliamentary seats? Altogether, DAP had contested in 51 out of 222 seats. Even if DAP had won all 51, there was no way we could have formed the government on our own," Loke said.
He also urged former Johor menteri besar Tan Sri Ghani Othman, who lost to DAP's Lim Kit Siang in the Gelang Patah seat, to confirm whether the funds Najib received was used in the constituency to fight the DAP stalwart.
"Or did he not receive any help from Najib, leading to Umno being defeated by DAP in Gelang Patah?
"I would like to stress again that DAP had never received any funding from any financial sources. Despite the efforts by Umno leaders to distract the people's attention (with these allegations), the RM2.6 billion issue will continue to haunt Najib and Umno, now and forever."
Najib has come under fire over the RM2.6 billion from both the opposition and within his own party, especially his former deputy, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, whom he axed from the Cabinet late last month. 
Allegations of RM2.6 billion in Najib's accounts first surfaced in a report by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) on July 2, citing documents from Malaysian investigators. 
WSJ said the source of the funds was unknown, but came through 1Malaysia Development Bhd-linked entities in various tranches, the largest of which – US$681 million – was channelled into Najib's accounts in March 2013, ahead of GE13 in May.
