No need to interview Najib for 1MDB probe, PAC chief says

(Malay Mail Online) – It is not necessary for the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) to summon Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak for questioning in its investigation on 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), the panel’s new chief said.

Datuk Hasan Arifin did not, however, explain the reason for the decision.

“It’s not necessary… not necessary,” he told reporters today when asked when Najib would be called.

“Janganlah… saya pun mahu cari makan juga,” he then said when repeatedly asked for answer.

[Translation: Don’t la.. I need to make a living too]

Reporters had earlier asked Hasan to confirm if the prime minister would be called in for questioning in the committee’s probe on the state-owned firm, pointing out that his predecessor Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed had previously not ruled out the possibility.
