In conjunction with the twin by-elections in Sungai Besar and Kuala Kangsar, the DAP is organizing a special 2-day colloquium to discuss the impact and implications of the RM55 billion 1MDB and Najib’s mysterious US$1 billion “donation” scandals.
The question on the minds of the people today are whether the scandals are merely a storm in the teacup, as alleged by the supporters of the Prime Minister, or will they ultimately result in becoming the straw that breaks the camel’s back?
The by-elections in Sungai Besar and Kuala Kangsar will also become the measure the people’s endorsement of Najib Razak’s involvement in the 1MDB’s global financial scandal which has already brought down a 143-year old Swiss BSI Bank.
As such, we have put together a stellar line up of speakers for a Colloquium on 11 & 12 June 2016 in Sungai Besar and Kuala Kangsar respectively. Each day’s programme will commence at 9.30am and end at 2pm. In Sungai Besar, the event will be held in Dewan Restoran Hao Xiang Chi, Jln Gereja, Sekinchan while in Kuala Kangsar, Dewan Restoran Chun Ji, 11 Tmn Suria, Kuala Kangsar.
Former Prime Minister, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammad has kindly agreed to deliver the keynote opening address of the colloquium in both Sungai Besar and Kuala Kangsar. DAP Parliamentary Leader, Lim Kit Siang will close each day’s session.
14 other panelists who have confirmed include Cynthia Gabriel, Tony Pua, Prof Dr Abdul Aziz Bari, Clare Brown (via Skype), Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad, P Gunasegaram, Dato’ Zaid Ibrahim in Sungai Besar; and Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan, Dato’ Paduka Haji Husam Musa, Datuk A.
