Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak is the last person who should be speaking about the truth, said former federal minister Zaid Ibrahim in a posting on his blog.

"He calls on Muslims to have the skills and be capable of ascertaining the truth, but how are those Muslims able to tell what is true when he uses the Official Secrets Act, the police, the attorney-general, investigating agencies, Parliament and whatever else at his disposal to cover up the truth?" asked Zaid.

Zaid said this in reference to Najib's speech at the International Wasatiyyah Seminar 2016, on the theme of “Fiqh Tabayyun: Facing Social Media Challenges and Defamation", yesterday.
