Lembah Pantai MP Nurul Izzah Anwar termed the allegations made against her father Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim of fabricating documents involving Malaysian investment firm 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) as ridiculous.
Izzah said it was impossible for her father to be involved in the in the matter to sabotage elected Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak as Anwar was apprehended in February, prior to the July 2 publication of an expose of the allegedly leaked documents of 1MDB.
“It is ridiculous. How can he (Anwar) forge the documents when he's been in prison since February?” she told the Star publication while responding to a former Sarawakian editor Lester Melanyi's allegations.
She also said the Auditor-General’s interim report on 1MDB should be immediately disclosed as that could unveil the truth.
On Wednesday, Abdul Rahman revealed the involvement of several opposition lawmakers in a video by an individual who claimed to be directly involved in falsifying facts in Sarawak Report articles.
Rahman linked PKR vice president Rafizi Ramli, Petaling Jaya Utara MP, Tony Pua, Batu Lintang assemblyman See Chee How, Kuching MP Chong Chieng Hen and Anwar in the plot to defame Najib.
