Forum- Malaysia: Where Do We Go From Here, Kuala Lumpur 06/08/2015
Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak has been asked to tell the people the favour he returned to his “Middle East” donor for the RM 2.6 billion he received as the controversy surrounding the money mounts.
Opposition MP Tony Pua said it is unlikely a foreigner would fork out RM2.6 billion to help a political party contest in the local elections, without receiving anything in return.
Pua also quipped about Najib's infamous quote during the 2010 Sibu by-election campaign, "you help me, I help you", which he said proves that nothing is free for helping someone in an election.
"A huge sum of money from a Middle Eastern donor? Why would a Middle Eastern donor want to give RM 2.6 billion to a Malaysian political party to win the election? You, my friend, I give you RM 2.6 billion ringgit.
"To quote Najib, ‘you help me, I help you’. So the Middle Eastern donor helped Najib with RM2.6 billion.
“It doesn’t matter? Even if it ends up in Najib’s private accounts? So, the question now is, how did Najib help this Middle Eastern person?" Pua told a crowd of some 1,000 people at the 'Where do we go from here' forum in at the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall last night.
