Najib says no abuse of power to be seen in the SMS communications - Star

Well Mohd Najib Razak has, I believe, admitted that the SMS communication was his - and has gone further to say that there was no abuse of power..we shall see...we shall see...

Malaysia Today recently published the SMSes, alleging that Najib abused his power and interfered in the investigation into the murder of Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu.

When reporters kept pressing him to elaborate, Najib said: “Why should there be a major concern? If it is of public interest, read it very carefully, there is no abuse of power. Period.” - Star, 14/10/2008 - No abuse of power, says Najib

The said text messages are to be found in a posting entitled 'Abuse of Power By The Deputy Prime Minister' in Malaysia Today.

Well, some are wanting that there be an investigation not just on that text-messages but on many other matters as well...

Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim has called for a probe on Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak for allegedly abusing his power in relation to the Altantuya Shaariibuu murder case.

Anwar’s call came in the wake of an alleged exchange of text-messages, purportedly between Najib and senior lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah over the alleged involvement of political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda in the case.

“Our allegations against Najib - from the murder of Altantuya, the submarines and Eurocopter (purchase deal) to the SMSes exchanged between him and the lawyer - there is no response, no investigation and no report,” said Anwar, when met in the Parliament lobby today.“So you find there is a case where a public figure wants to be shielded from any investigation.”

Anwar, also the Permatang Pauh MP, said the latest development will affect the government’s credibility.

He called for open investigation to uncover the truth, saying: “How can we accept a leader who is not prepared to defend himself? (But) I am not suggesting anything except for an open investigation.” - Malaysiakini, 14/10/2008 - 'Investigate Najib over text-messages'

For once, I hope that the necessary authorities will act once and for all and investigate these numerous allegations against Mohd Najib Razak (most likely our next UMNO President)...

It seems that many are going out of the way to protect and shield him...WHY?

We cannot leave this hanging...or swept under the carpet...

I am wondering HOW they managed to get that SMS communications of Mohd Najib... (Does that mean all our own SMS communication can also be intercepted and read by others..)

Anyway, for those who have read the SMS communication - what do you think? Do you agree with Najib that there was no abuse of power?
