Ezam hits out at PAS for tabling RUU355
The PBR president says the Islamic party must understand the reality of today’s politics
JOHOR BARU: PAS needs to realise that the country has been governed by a ‘desperado’ government that is willing to do everything it takes to hide its shortcoming.
Parti Bebas Rasuah (PBR) president Mohamad Ezam Mohd Nor said that while his party respects PAS’ liberty to table the RUU355 – or the Shariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965, the Islamic party must understand the reality of today’s politics.
He said the government’s handling of RUU 355 clearly portrayed how the Act has been used as Prime Minister Najib Razak’s political tool.
Ezam, a former Finance Ministry communications director, said that RUU355 should have been tabled by the government as the bill was religious in nature.
He also slammed the Malaysian parliamentary institution for failing to act on individuals responsible for the1MDB scandal while other foreign governments are probing the case.
Ezam said that the matter only happened because of an irresponsible prime minister.
“Even the PAC’s (Public Accounts Committee) report ignored. Before that, the committee itself was suspended and disbanded.
“The attorney-general is replaced in a hurry. MACC and Bank Negara officers involved in 1MDB and SRC International Sdn Bhd cases are transferred.
“Doesn’t all these make us realise that we have a prime minister that is weltered with corruption, protecting the corruptors and more importantly willing do anything to cover up his and his henchmen’s act?”
The newly elected PBR president, formerly known as NewGen Party, is mulling to contest in Pekan in the 14th General Election to take on Najib head on.
