I told Najib to quit 1MDB but he didn’t listen, says Muhyiddin
(The Malaysian Insider) – Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin today revealed that he had asked Datuk Seri Najib Razak to step down as chairman of the board of advisers of the controversial 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) but the prime minister ignored his advice.
Muhyiddin said that he had no ill-intentions by suggesting this, but had not wanted Najib’s name to be tarnished because of his involvement with the debt-ridden state investment vehicle.
“I told him to let go off his post in 1MDB, but he didn’t want to listen.
“I don’t have any evil intention, my will is to help him,” he said when officiating an Umno Cheras meeting in Kuala Lumpur tonight.
