Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak today defended the charging of PKR
strategy director Rafizi Ramli under the Banking and Financial
Institutions Act (Bafia) for disclosing financial documents related to
the National Feedlot Corporation scandal.
Najib told a press conference after chairing
the Umno supreme council meeting this evening, "Whoever has information should reveal it to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission. It
is not to be revealed to the public because if you reveal to the public
you are against Bafia. The reason why
Bafia is there is to protect the integrity and credibility of the
financial system because anyone who has accounts in the financial system
must feel well protected. Otherwise, people will not put money
in the system. People from overseas will not put money in Malaysia and
that is against public interest. The public interest is there and we must ensure that the financial system cannot be compromised."
