00:08In an exclusive interview with FMT
00:11Anwar Ibrahim has slammed critics of his response to Najib Razak's apology over the 1MDB scandal
00:20The sheer hypocrisy is when you
00:24For example
00:26Place only Najib as the only issue
00:31Anwar questioned why some of his critics are not as focal when it comes to the corrupt deeds of others
00:38And these people, the so-called anti-corruption forces, those involved in some of these
00:44so-called liberal views, have then
00:47Completely muted when it comes to huge corruption to ex-leaders who have amassed billions of Ringgit
00:55Najib had apologised unreservedly for the 1MDB scandal in a statement read by his son last month
01:01Saying it pained him that it occurred when he was the Prime Minister and Finance Minister
01:07In response, Anwar said he welcomed the apology which drew criticisms from several quarters
01:14including former Deputy Law Minister Hanipa Maiden
01:18Meanwhile, Anwar also reiterated his commitment to fighting corruption
01:21Adding that his administration is empowering enforcement agencies to take tough action
