Parti Bebas Rasuah leader Ezam Mohd Nor says he quit the Finance Ministry because he was "no longer called up" by Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.
He said the last time he was consulted was when former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad published an open letter to Najib on the 1MDB issue.
"He (Najib) immediately called me... he said, 'We have problems now. The former PM is making a public attack, so how are we to answer?'
"I said, 'Dr Mahathir questioned 20 things, so you respond to them. If you can't reply 20, 10 will do'. Because at the time Dr Mahathir was not involved in politics and still in Umno, so we should answer.
"But he didn't. His strategy was not to answer. His strategy was to divert and attack, so every night Buletin Utama (on TV3) would attack Dr Mahathir to make him look like the bad guy. It was stupid."
