[KiniNews] Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has welcomed his predecessor Najib Abdul Razak’s apology over the 1MDB scandal.
“I welcome it,” he reportedly said when quizzed on the matter after Friday prayers in Putrajaya.
Yesterday, Najib, in a statement read out by his son Nizar at the Kuala Lumpur High Court, apologised that the 1MDB scandal happened during his watch but maintained his innocence.
Meanwhile, in a separate story, Lawyer Latheefa Koya has slammed Anwar, saying he has no authority to accept such an apology.
“(It is) Not his job. Since Najib maintains innocence, Anwar’s acceptance condones the crime," she said.
