KUALA LUMPUR: Pascal Najadi today slammed Inspector General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar for brushing aside suggestions that his father’s murder may have been linked to events surrounding 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).
He was responding to Khalid’s statement reported by FMT yesterday denying any connection between Hussain Najadi’s assassination and the on-going 1MDB investigation.
In a Facebook posting earlier today addressed to “Malaysian citizens and observers from all over the world”, Pascal questioned the IGP’s comment.
“By simply denying that there is any link to 1MDB and the assassination of my father Hussain Najadi, the IGP draws even more attention from us the family and the general public,” he said.
“How come he can say this as there has been no investigation,” Pascal asked, adding that the matter was not within Khalid’s “field of competence.”
He insisted that it was the duty of the Attorney- General to pursue the case under Article 145 of the Federal Constitution.
“It is a criminal offence that was committed in Malaysia and the mastermind killer is known to the Malaysians and to the world through Interpol,” he claimed.
Two days ago, Sarawak Report carried an interview with Najadi in which he said that he could not accept the explanation that his father’s killing was because of a row over a temple.
He also claimed that his family was never consulted about any evidence which they might have over his father’s affairs except for one call from a junior police officer who, he said, could barely speak English.
Khalid’s denial had come after veteran DAP leader Lim Kit Siang had himself called on the police to reopen its investigations into the former AmBank founder’s murder.
