The Public Accounts Committee's (PAC) report on 1MDB did not clear Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak as claimed by several BN ministers, said DAP lawmaker Tony Pua.
"I would say this... Instead of saying PAC cleared the prime minister, the way to say it is PAC failed to clear the prime minister.
"This is because we were not given any documents to investigate, hence, we were unable to clear the prime minister even we if wanted to," he told a press conference.
Pua was referring to the US$5.5 billion of 1MDB's overseas cash flow that went unaccounted as the state-owned fund refused to substantiate it with documents.
"It is the reverse. If Najib wants to move any suspicion of link between 1MDB's overseas funds and himself, he must immediately reprimand 1MDB and direct 1MDB to hand over its banking records to PAC and the auditor-general for further scrutiny.
"If not, Najib will be further tainted with the perception that he is afraid of the truth being discovered and he has much to hide," he added.
