Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad has warned that a hasty attempt to charge his predecessor Najib Abdul Razak over the 1MDB scandal may see him go free.
"Loads of people are awaiting - when are we going to arrest Najib. But it is not so easy, we need to collect the kind of evidence that will stand up in court.
"If we fail to do that, he might win. Just think what would happen if he wins a trial and is found not guilty.
"Then all the promises we made, all the bad things we said about him would be questioned by the people who voted us in," he told a dinner event with the Malaysian diaspora in Japan on Sunday.
