00:00Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has warned parties contesting in the Johor State election
00:06to stop clamouring for former Prime Minister Najib Razak's pardon and release.
00:11He said the focus should instead be on efforts to safeguard the people's welfare and manage the country's economy.
00:19Enough is enough. Najib is now in prison, so leave him alone, the Prime Minister said.
00:25He said the country is still paying the 1MDB debt.
00:28We have yet to pay it off fully, Anwar said at an election campaign event.
00:34The Prime Minister said the government is burdened with 1MDB debts amounting to RM51 billion,
00:41funds that could otherwise have been used for public facilities had they not been misappropriated by irresponsible parties.
00:49He said that if Malaysia had that money available, we could have used it for schools, hospitals, roads and to
00:57feed the poor.
00:58But now we cannot do that, he lamented.
