We should all come clean
Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah
Yesterday I gave an interview to Sarah Stewart, the Bureau Chief of AFP. Among the questions she asked me was the unavoidable question about the international scandal linking Dato’ Seri Najib Razak with the murder of Altantuya Sharibuu and with the purchase of the Scorpene submarines.
It is safe to say that in the international media, this is the scandal through which the incoming Umno President and the presumptive Prime Minister is being evaluated. The UK’s Sunday Times, the International Herald Tribune, the French daily, Libération (The Australian Financial Review, the Far Eastern Economic Review and the New York Times have all published stories raising questions about the link between the murdered young woman, the gigantic commission paid out in the purchase of the submarines to a Malaysian company, and Dato’ Seri Najib. This is now an international story.
