‘Najib must act against Taib’

Is he too scared to take action against Taib?

KUALA LUMPUR: Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim has called on Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak to act against the Sarawak chief minister.

He said action must be taken against Taib Mahmud based on the recent video expose made by an international NGO, Global Witness.

The video showed Taib’s family and his cronies abusing logging licences to enrich themselves, at the expense of ordinary Sarawakians.

An undercover investigator, posing as an investor, went to Sarawak in the pretext of buying land to set up palm oil plantations and was directed to buy licences from those linked to Taib.

Anwar said that Najib cannot not afford to keep silent in view of the recent expose as the allegations and evidence shown in the video were strong.

“If Najib is one with calibre and principle, he must answer this,” stressed the opposition leader.
