Foreign Minister Saifuddin Abdullah said his visiting Saudi Arabia counterpart Adel Ahmed al-Jubeir had said that the RM2.6 billion "donation" to former Prime Minister Najib Razak had nothing to do with the Saudi government. [Saifuddin: Saudi Arabia had nothing to do with RM2.6 billion].
I'm sure Adel said something to the effect, as Saifuddin claimed Adel had said. But how Malaysians wish they had heard it from the horse's mouth.
Like this one:
IMHO as someone who used to park myself at Wisma Putra for "stories" in the good old days, what Saiduddin should have done was hold a joint press conference with Adel after their closed-door meeting so that the Saudi FM could speak for himself and for his own government. That's what Wisma Putra used to do.
Our reporters would then have the opportunity to ask Adel if he had been high on something when he spoke of "a genuine donation from the Royal family" with "no strings attached" to then PM Najib Razak with regards to, presumably, the same RM2.6 billion in the above 2016 video.
sudah la latok. bombastic english does not mean a person is smart....perhaps a smart ass? some people disgrace the journalistic fraternity by accepting dedak just to maintain lifestyle without concern for "amar makruf nahi munkat"
Although Saifuddin is a former deputy education minister & lecturer (educated) it does not make him neither a good minister nor wise-man. Just half-past six man without agenda. Better he goes back lecturing whereby he can parroting the author of the book without much thinking effort
