Najib: NST no longer a friend
  • 5 years ago
Former premier Najib Abdul Razak is of the opinion that it makes no difference if Umno holds a minority stake in Media Prima Bhd.

Singling out the New Straits Times, he said the newspaper, which was once regarded as an Umno mouthpiece, is no longer friendly to the party.

He was commenting on Umno selling its interest in Media Prima.

"It is a necessity for Umno to so... [furthermore] Media Prima is not within Umno's effective control," he told reporters when met at the sidelines of his court hearing in Kuala Lumpur this afternoon.
