Loke slams Najib’s ‘irresponsible’ denial on graft claims

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: DAP secretary-general Loke Siew Fook has criticised Najib Razak’s claim that he had not been accused of stealing in his corruption trials, but only of money laundering, from which he did not benefit.

Loke wondered if the former prime minister thought Malaysians were fools in making such a claim.

He said Najib would not have been charged with money laundering if the funds were not alleged to have been obtained illegally.

“So, for him to say it (money laundering) is not a form of corruption is irresponsible. He thinks he is innocent,” he said during a talk show streamed online last night.
