MACC illegal audio taping violates PM, people's rights - Najib

Najib Abdul Razak testified that the MACC covert recording of his alleged conversation was very upsetting as it was a violation of the fundamental rights of sitting prime ministers and citizens.

The former premier told the High Court convened in Putrajaya this today over the authorities' taping of an alleged audio conversation between him and a high-ranking official from the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

"This is an illegal taping that I am not comfortable with, as sitting prime minister you have a taped conversation (with other heads of state) and I cannot verify the conversation or ascertain its authenticity, this is a serious transgression of my rights," he said.

Right. It violates his rights as a VVIP criminal.

[phanteetee]

MACC's job is to gather evidence. The people should praise the MACC for being so efficient.

[clydebabat]

MACC has absolute right to gather all evidences as accorded in the MACC Act. By Najib's own statement, he is admitting that the recorded conversation is genuinely taking place....

[oliverodell]

Any public servant (inc PM) should reasonably expect government checks and balances via the likes of MACC

[hazimhanafiah]

Guilty as charged, imagine if they didnt make it public, it would have been buried

Every crime you did is not only none of your responsibility but lawful🙄 Getting you to answer for your crimes are always illegal!

Ya Allah, hitamnkan lah sehitam hitam nya wajah pemerintah², sultan, menteri/ pegawai yg memberi /menerima rasuah, menipu rakyat, menindas yg lemah. InsyaAllah pulih selepas bertaubat Amin.

curi duit rakyat berbillion tak violate people's rights ke jib?

[emmanuellim]

Hmm, we think stealing money from the rakyat is the greater evil here

[gohsiewching]

If that is called violation of rights, what you did is lawful & righteous as the PM of Malaysia?

[muhamadabdmalik]

He is a biggest robber in the world. So what he is expecting.

[xXteh_doctor_originalXx]

how about stealing public's funds? is it not violating the people's rights? idiot? 🤣🤣🤣

[Maak-df]

Kah kah kah, kau dah kantoi mulalah nak minta hak kau

[UW]

No it's not if you are highly a suspect of national embezzlement.

[berkit]

Either it's you or not you? If not you how are you violated?

[jamesshong]

Wow....then how did u suggest that catch u doing stuff for your own gain?

[nagalingamsivalingam]

Najib is really a fool, bloody scoundral and a thief who stole the peoples’ money and now acting like a good person. He spent millions for his daughter’s wedding and now acting as a good person, bloody crook should be jailed as the chief justice gave the sentence.

[Maak-df]

Agaknya kalau ada call Najib kpd 2 polis yg bunuh Altantuya itu, ttg dia arah bunuh, dia minta hak juga utk "arah bunuh itu". Diplomatik utk membuat call yg langgar undang2

[naszmann]

It's not illegal at all for the sake of justice. A thief, Always a thief.
