Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak should not be blamed for 1MDB's weaknesses as he was not involved in the operation of the state-owned fund, said an Umno leader.
It is not fair for the critics to single out Najib, said Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Razali Ibrahim.
"Najib is involved in various (other) matters, including those related to Petronas," he said at the Parliament lobby today.
He was asked about concerns being raised over the Public Accounts Committee's (PAC) silence on Najib in its 1MDB report tabled in the Dewan Rakyat today.
"It is unfair if they (critics) made this – not naming (Najib in PAC's report) – an issue," he said, adding that 1MDB's operation lies in its management team.
The PAC's report only held former 1MDB's boss Shahrol Azral Ibrahim Halmi responsible for the weaknesses and constraints of the company.
