If you want govt gifts, just steal money, says Guan Eng mocking Najib - superadmin - 11-21-2021 SANDAKAN – If one wants gifts from the government, just steal its money, said DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng sarcastically as he lambasted a proposal to award former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak with land and a house worth an estimated RM100 million. Lim said in a press conference here that the government is supposed to use its powers to help the people, and not help a convict.  “He (Najib) has been convicted; fined and punished with imprisonment. He has been linked to a scandal that had cost the country RM53 billion. Yet we are gifting him with a RM100 million house? “This shows that if one wants gifts from the government, one can steal lots of government money. I don’t understand this. This is wrong. The government is misusing its powers to help a single individual.” On Thursday, Finance Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz confirmed that the government had received an application by Najib for the alleged RM100 million residence. - More -
