The cabinet has not been misled over the foreign exchange losses made by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) during the 1990s, and there is no need to take any action on any individual or institution, says lawyer Mohd Haniff Khatri Abdulla for Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

Haniff said in order to show that the cabinet had been misled, the RCI should call a member of the cabinet to testify that he or she had been deceived over the losses.

The record showed, that one of the ministers then is the present Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak who was then the defence minister.

“Najib as the defence minister should come to the RCI to bravely testify the purported allegation that he was supposedly misled by the then finance minister (Anwar Ibrahim) and subject him to examination.
