Hassan: Najib's palace visit casts shadow on king's speech
- 2 years ago
Malaysia is fortunate to have a head of state who is vociferous in condemning the scourge of corruption, according to MACC special committee (JKMR) member Hassan Abdul Karim.
“Graft is the number one foe and inflation, second. If the two combine like in Malaysia, it can 'kill' 33 million citizens. So the Yang di-Pertuan Agong's speech was crucial and relevant,” he added.
However, the PKR lawmaker regretted that former premier Najib Abdul Razak's presence at the palace had cast a shadow on the monarch's words of wisdom.
