PKR's suit against Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak is stupid, said Umno supreme council member Nazri Abdul Aziz.

 

He said the opposition clearly did not understand the law.

 

"This is a stupid move by PKR. She (Nurul Izzah Anwar) is a runt, who only just became an MP and does not understand the law," he said in a press conference in Kuala Lumpur today.

 

Nazri called on PKR to prove their claims that BN candidates had spent more than RM200,000 each in the last election.

 

He said the Elections Act allowed parliamentary candidates to spend up to RM200,000 for their campaign, and as such, doesn't see what the fuss is about.

 

"Even if they spend RM10 million after or before the elections, let them be," he said.

 

PKR today filed a civil suit against Najib for alleged electoral offences, following The Wall Street Journal's exposé on the RM2.6 billion deposit in the premier's bank accounts.

 

PKR vice-president Nurul Izzah said the suit, which was filed today, also named Umno secretary-general Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor, 1MDB, and the Election Commission (EC) as defendants.

 

The plaintiffs are seeking several declarations, among them that Najib committed corrupt practices with the fund of RM2.6 billion entering into his personal accounts; that BN be de-registered; that the conclusion of the 222 parliamentary seats had been compromised; and that the results of GE13 be therefore set aside.

 

They also want the court to rule that each of the defendants, either acting individually or with each other, had maliciously and dishonestly committed fraud on the Malaysian electorate by the commission of corrupt and illegal practices, and as a consequence, the results of GE13 should be declared null and void.
