Src Case Najib Camp Issues Debate Challenge To Ramkarpal Pua

Representatives of Najib Abdul Razak have challenged the former premier’s detractors to a televised debate over the SRC International case.
In particular, Najib’s camp singled out Bukit Gelugor MP Ramkarpal Singh.
“It appears that many in the public do not understand the facts of Najib’s SRC RM42 million case or have followed the court proceedings closely.
“We invite Ramkarpal to a televised open debate with a representative from our side on the subject of whether or not Najib deserves a pardon for the SRC case.
“Should Ramkarpal - who no longer has any reason not to attend since he is no longer a deputy minister - decline, other recent haters such as Tony Pua and (Mohammed) Hanipa Maidin can take his place,” the representatives said in a post on Najib’s Facebook page.
The Najib camp argued that a debate is now warranted since there is no longer any danger of sub judice or contempt of court when discussing the SRC International case.
Ramkarpal, Pua, and Hanipa had all been critical of the Pardons Board’s decision to halve the former premier’s jail time from 12 years to six years, and reduce his fine from RM210 million to RM50 million.
Ramkarpal and Hanipa had, among others, cited how one judge had called Najib’s defence a national embarrassment.
Najib’s camp, however, retorted that his critics were ignoring alleged irregularities in his trial, which led to the Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak Abdul Rahman Sebli in a dissenting judgment at the Federal Court stating that Najib had suffered an injustice and should be acquitted. - Mkini
