There is not enough evidence to arrest Najib says Mahathir

(FMT) – Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said although many were waiting for Najib Razak to be arrested, it was not a simple thing.

“Well, it is not as easy as we need to collect evidence that will stand up in court.

“If we fail to do that, he might win. What will happen if he wins the trial and is found not guilty?

“All the bad things we said about him will be questioned by the people who voted us in,” Mahathir said.

He also pointed out that unlike the previous government, the current administration did not have any influence over the courts.

Mahathir said power must be divided among the legislative, executive and judiciary to allow check and balance.
