Ong Kian Ming, Former Serdang Member of Parliament.
*Kian Ming Critiques Najib’s Dishonest Confession on 1MDB*
Ong Kian Ming thought Najib's apology was dishonest because he only admitted to being cheated by Jho Low, not admitting to stealing, abetting and defrauding 1mdb money. Najib made the apology to draw sympathy from Malaysians. If Najib truly repents and honestly confesses his wrongdoing, according to Kian Ming- it would be better for him to admit his wrongdoing in court and accept whatever punishment the court will decide. Najib can also help give information to recover the money of 1mdb and Najib should return the money he has stolen from 1mdb. According to Kian Ming again - Malaysia is not only a loss in terms of ringgit money, the country's reputation is tarnished, but political leaders and NGOs are heavily pressured during Najib's administration. Tony Puan, Rafizi Ramli were charged in court, their passports were seized and they were banned from going abroad. Prime Minister and Premier of Sarawak Johari Openg accepted Najib's apology. However, Kian Ming did not agree with the prime minister's actions - for forgiving Najib when the 1mdb case was still being tried. It will create subjudicial elements that may influence the court's decision, PM Anwar Ibrahim should not give any comments and remain neutral.
