PUTRAJAYA, July 3 — Johor Baru MP Tan Sri Shahrir Abdul Samad has called on Umno members to continue to support beleaguered former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak in his time of need.

However, at the same time, he urged them to comply with and respect the laws of the nation.

“Indirectly, we will also make sure that the law is applied, and that it is not merely a made-up scenario,” he told reporters after recording his statement with the MACC regarding the RM1 million he allegedly received from Najib.

He also advised Umno members to remain calm in the face of adversity. — Bernama
