Najib: Don’t trust Raja Petra

The prime minister said the people should not believe the claims made by the blogger who has fled the country to London.

(Bernama) PEKAN, July 4 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said he leaves it to the authorities to take action against blogger Raja Petra Kamaruddin.

The prime minister said the people should not believe the claims made by the blogger who has fled the country to London.

“If Raja Petra is funded by the opposition, it means that his statements are politically-motivated. We should weigh them carefully and not merely accepting them,” he told reporters after opening the Pekan Umno meeting here today.

He was asked to comment on the statement by Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Aziz yesterday that the government had proofs that Raja Petra was funded by Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR).

On the appointment of Suraya Ramli and Rafidah Abdul Razak as syariah judges, the prime minister said it showed that women in the country enjoyed equalities.

Their appointments as the Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya syariah judges respectively were made following the consent by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin.
