Former opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim has called on Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak to resolve the problems concerning 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).

In a statement issued through his daughter Nurul Izzah from court today, he said Najib, who is also finance minister, owed the people an explanation on this issue.

"The leakages and loss incurred because of weak management and abuse of 1MDB must be dealt with immediately," he added.

Anwar, who is serving a five-year prison term, said the poor are also suffering due to the imposition of the goods and services tax (GST).

"Our focus now should be on championing the people's right in opposing to the increase of prices or goods because of GST," he added.

Anwar said Najib should address these two issues before announcing the 11th Malaysia Plan.

The prime minister unveiled the 11MP in Parliament this morning, charting the nation's course for the next five years.

However, it was a video of his deputy Muhyiddin Yassin calling for 1MDB's board of directors to be axed and investigated which has become the main issue.

The 1MDB imbroglio continues to be one of the biggest thorns for the Najib administration.

Despite the prime minister's repeated attempts at firefighting, the issue continues to blaze.

Meanwhile, Anwar’s wife, Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, who replaced him as opposition leader, reminded the public about Najib’s lofty promise in the 10th Malaysia Plan (10MP), particularly on 1MDB which has turned into a debt burden.

“I am worried about the true impact of the 10MP on the livelihood and wellbeing of the rakyat which will become apparent during the 11MP.

“For example, the 10MP previously mentioned how 1MDB will benefit the rakyat and in the 11MP, we will evaluate the impact of 1MDB on who did it really benefit as well as where the Goods and Services Tax collected will be spent,” she said.

Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak perlu memberi penjelasan kepada rakyat berhubung isu kebocoran dan kerugian akibat pengurusan lemah dan penyelewengan syarikat sarat hutang 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), kata Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Ketua umum PKR itu berkata, kenaikan harga barang selepas pelaksanaan cukai barangan dan perkhidmatan (GST) perlu diperjuangkan agar tidak terus mendera rakyat miskin.

"Kedua-dua permasalahan di atas perlu ditangani sebelum Najib mengemukakan Rancangan  Malaysia ke-11 (RMK11) di Parlimen.

"Insya Allah, saya akan terus  istiqamah dengan  perjuangan menegakkan keadilan," katanya menerusi kenyataan disampaikan Naib Presiden PKR, Nurul Izzah Anwar di Mahkamah Tinggi Kuala Lumpur hari ini.Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin menerusi video tersebar di laman sosial hari ini menggesa Najib memecat lembaga pengarah 1MDB dan mengarahkan polis menyiasat syarikat itu.

Katanya, sekiranya Najib yang juga pengerusi lembaga penasihat 1MDB tidak bertindak, tidak mustahil Umno dan Barisan Nasional (BN) akan kalah dalam pilihan raya umum akan datang.

“Saya beritahu perdana menteri, pecat semua ahli lembaga pengarah 1MDB. Buang mereka. Buanglah, pasal mereka, perdana menteri terpaksa menanggung, tetapi tidak dibuang lagi.

“Buanglah. CEO ni buang. Bukan buang sahaja, panggil polis siasat,” kata Muhyiddin disambut sorakan pemimpin tertinggi Umno yang hadir.

Muhyiddin berkata, beliau berasa hairan bagaimana dalam tempoh yang singkat syarikat milik Kementerian Kewangan itu menanggung hutang sehingga RM42 bilion.

Katanya, isu 1MDB perlu segera diselesaikan kerana ia hanya menjadi liabiliti kepada kerajaan dan menyebabkan Umno tidak dipilih rakyat.

"Kita perlu ambil tindakan, tak boleh beri sedikit masa.

"Jadi rakyat tengok, barulah pimpinan kerajaan rasa bertanggungjawab ambil tindakan serius," katanya.
