10 reasons why Najib must have no role in govt – P. Gunasegaram

[superadmin]

PRIME Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob’s meeting with former PM Datuk Seri Najib Razak was rather unfortunate and should never have taken place.

This is given the latter’s past record and conviction for offences involving SRC International Sdn Bhd’s RM42 million and his role in the 1Malaysia Development Bhd financial scandal, for which he is facing charges in court.

But what is even more disturbing is that there are reports he may be appointed economic adviser to the government. This will likely go down badly with the general public, who are well aware of the many roles he played in suppressing and aiding, as well as abetting, the losses at 1MDB, the so-called national strategic development company he set up.

The question is, why choose him as economic adviser when there are many people who are much more qualified than him and who come with clean hands? They will help formulate policies and plans without conflicts of interest to chart a path out of the current situation caused by a raging pandemic, which has slowed economic growth.
