KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 10 - The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) must be allowed to resume its investigations into 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) to ensure that the public receives answers about the state investment firm, MCA said today.
MCA deputy president Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong also made a commitment today that his party will “supervise” the 1MDB issue by first giving Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak the time and space to adequately explain away all questions on the indebted company.
“Therefore since our prime minister has promised to deal with 1MDB issue within six months, we should give him time and space to deal with the problem.
“We will supervise the entire process to ensure a final settlement, which includes insistence on the Public Accounts Committee to continue the investigation,” he said during the MCA Youth AGM here today.
Wee denied that MCA has remained silent on issues plaguing the country and instead urged investigators to remain impartial when looking into the books of 1MDB.
“We also want the relevant authorities to handle this matter impartially. If anyone runs afoul of the law, he must be brought to justice,” the minister in the Prime Minister’s Department said.
