PKR deputy president Azmin Ali today rebuked Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak for his failure to condemn United States President Donald Trump's "racist" executive order which temporarily bans immigration to the US from seven Muslim-majority countries.

Azmin said Najib was quick to congratulate Trump on his victory but kept a "wall of silence" over the executive order issued last Friday.

"Prime Minister Najib’s silence on the matter speaks volumes about his position, more so considering how publicly he has praised Trump’s accession to office and his pledge to work closely with the new administration.

"Questions are raised as to this apparently inexplicable wall of silence on the part of Putrajaya and whether it has anything to do with some ongoing international investigation by the Department of Justice (DOJ)," Azmin, who is also Selangor menteri besar, said in a statement.
