KUALA LUMPUR: Talks are underway on forming a new political party and coalition to challenge Malaysia’s scandal-hit leader, the country’s ex-premier said on Thursday.
Prime Minister Najib Razak faces allegations that billions of dollars were plundered from a state-owned investment fund he founded. The accusations, which emerged last year, include the revelation that Najib received at least $681 million in deposits to his personal bank accounts in 2013.
“We have agreed to this because we want to cooperate towards a common goal for a change of government for Malaysia,” the country’s former leader Mahathir Mohamad was quoted as saying by The Star after meeting with key opposition figures. “We discussed many things with him (Mahathir) and we agreed to move towards cooperation to have a coalition with all the opposition parties in Malaysia,” Chua Tian Chang, vice-president of the opposition People’s Justice Party, told AFP. Mahathir, who was the premier for 22 years, quit the ruling United Malays National Organisation (UM**) in February, saying it had degenerated into an organisation whose sole purpose was to protect Najib.
