Mohamed Azmin Ali (PKR-Gombak) said he was shocked that the Attorney-General Mohamed Apandi Ali has cleared Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak of any wrongdoings in relation to the RM2.6 billion donation.
"That is shocking, no explanation given at the Parliament. It took them very fast to clear a case which has tarnished the image of the country and government," he said when met at the Parliament building.
This in light of adequate evidence produced in the past one year on the transaction, Azmin added.
"Certainly it warrants a clear explanation by Najib and the government," he said.
"Yet today, we heard a very shocking news from the AG's Chambers that this case has been cleared," said Azmin, who is also PKR deputy president.
"Well, it is expected in some ways," he quipped.
"I don't think the announcement will restore the confidence of the investors and certainly it will have a major impact on the trust in the government and the system.
"I think we need to do more to restore confidence," Azmin stressed.
Similarly, Khalid Abdul Samad (Amanah-Shah Alam) said the latest announcement showed that the AG's Chambers needs to be more independent when it comes to prosecuting.
"This shows that we need to have a more independent AG's Chambers," he said.
Many Malaysians clearly believe that the regulations have been breached as pointed out by Bank Negara Malaysia , but no action has been taken, he said.
