[KiniNews] Former minister Rafizi Ramli has criticised Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim for merely reprimanding his senior political secretary, Shamsul Iskandar Akin, for issuing a support letter, saying it undermines the government’s anti-graft stance.

Responding to Anwar’s recent explanation in Parliament, Rafizi said Shamsul should have been sacked instead of being let off with a warning.

“If you just issue a stern warning while the person stays in the position, people won’t take it seriously. So, don’t blame the rakyat if they become cynical about your anti-corruption slogans," he said.

Meanwhile, in a separate story, businessperson Albert Tei has questioned why no police reports or legal suits have been filed against him, if allegations linking several Sabah politicians to a mining licence scandal are untrue.

He stressed that if his allegations are “malicious and defamatory”, lawful action should have already been initiated against him.
