Another foreign journalist tries to waylay PM

KUCHING: A Channel Four journalist was asked to leave the former State Assembly building after he had asked the prime minister to comment on his alleged corruption scandal.

Jonathan Miller, from the United Kingdom, had approached Najib Razak for comments as he was walking out of the building.

However, Najib just walked past Miller and policemen at the building told Miller to leave.

Najib was in Sarawak for the state election, which saw BN sweeping most of the 82 seats and forming the new state government.

When approached by reporters, Miller said he wanted to ask about accusations that Najib was personally involved in a “huge corruption scandal”.

“He has given some answers, but I know from many Malaysians and journalists that his answers are inadequate.”

Miller said while he was aware that it was a little unfair to ask Najib the questions as BN had won the Sarawak election, this was his only chance to do so.

He also said he wanted to ask the prime minister on the alleged vote-buying that he claimed he witnessed during the Sarawak election.

“I don’t believe this has been adequately answered in the local media and I think Malaysians will want an answer.”

On March 12, two Australian journalists were arrested when they did not comply with police instructions during an event attended by the prime minister In Kuching and tried to question him on a corruption allegation.

Police said the two Australians had crossed a security line and aggressively tried to approach Najib , who was on an official visit to the Darul Ehsan Mosque at Kampung Haji Baki in Sentosa.

The journalists, from ABC’s Four Corners, were later asked to leave the state, but still produced a documentary on corruption allegations against the PM.
