PUTRAJAYA – Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s arrest was aimed at demoralising his spirit, said Datuk Lokman Noor Adam, the president of a group calling itself Pemantau Malaysia Baru, which is protesting in front of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters here.
Tens of Najib’s supporters from the group arrived shortly before 9pm and chanted “Hidup Najib” (Long live Najib) and “Daulat Tuanku”.
“Najib was arrested by the MACC today when all this while he has been cooperating with them and even presented himself to give his statement for two sessions.
“What is the point of his arrest, we ask…It’s aimed at breaking his spirit, push him to give up,” said Lokman, who is also an Umno supreme council member. – Malay Mail
Dozens of Najib supporters gather outside MACC HQ
DOZENS of Najib Razak supporters gathered outside the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission headquarters in Putrajaya tonight, claiming he has been falsely arrested.
Umno Supreme Council member Lokman Nor Adam, who is a former aide to Najib, had earlier called on Malaysians to turn up in a show of solidarity with the former prime minister from 9pm to 11pm.
Speaking at the gathering, Lokman said Najib is a victim of propaganda, and that he has been falsely arrested for his alleged involvement in 1Malaysia Development Bhd.
“Najib has cooperated with MACC twice, and yet, they arrested him. Do they need to arrest him? No. They just want to break his spirit,” he told the small but energetic crowd.
Najib’s supporters chanted “Bebas Najib” (Free Najib) and “Fitnah Najib” (Najib falsely accused) in between short speeches by those present.
The former Umno president will be brought to the Kuala Lumpur High Court tomorrow to be charged, following his arrest about 3pm today, in relation to funds from SRC International Sdn Bhd, a former subsidiary of 1MDB, that were found in his personal bank accounts.
Former Barisan Nasional government propaganda unit chief Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz said Najib is being treated unfairly.
“The missing RM42 billion has yet to be proven, and so has the RM2.6 billion.
“Who empowered the 1MDB task force to issue the order to arrest Najib? Shouldn’t it be MACC?”
He added that he expects the crowd tonight to swell. – https://www.themalaysianinsight.com
