Malaysians should not solicit foreign agencies’ interference on 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB), PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang said today.
Hadi stressed that he believed in resolving the 1MDB issue though following Islamic principles and spiritual solutions rather than material ones.
“I do not agree with inviting foreign parties in our internal solutions for it will make matters worse and there is no sincerity among foreign powers today,” Hadi said in a statement.
“It is as though the captain of a ship puncturing a hole in the ship in order to obtain water,” Hadi said.
The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) last month filed a lawsuit to seize more assets and funds allegedly linked to 1MDB.
Hadi also rejected claims that he not concerned about the issue, but said it was just an extension of the controversies that plague the country, such as the Bank Negara Malaysia foreign exchange scandal and the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ).
He then said these were caused by a desire for material wealth.
