KUALA LUMPUR, July 26 — Datuk Seri Najib Razak said today he has no knowledge about a letter purportedly issued by a division under his watch when he was prime minister that had sought support from the US intelligence agency for his leadership of the country ahead of GE14.
“I cannot confirm nor deny the letter. I have no knowledge,” the Pekan MP told reporters at Parliament here.
However, he claimed that the letter was “agency to agency”, adding that such despatches are usually official government secrets.
“Such letters are normally not disclosed,” he said.
“You have to ask them (the agency that issued it),” Najib said further.
He also said the letter was reportedly issued during the 14th general election campaign period, when he was just the caretaker prime minister.
Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng earlier today called for an investigation to be conducted on letter.
