馬來西亞總理改組內閣
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, who is under increasing pressure because of serious fraud allegations, has fired his deputy and attorney general.
In a televised address Tuesday, Mr. Najib announced the dismissal of Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin, who had been one of his fiercest critics.
Earlier, a government statement said Attorney General Abdul Gani Patail was terminated because of "health reasons."
Patail had helped lead an investigation into whether the prime minister received over $700 million from the government-owned 1MBD investment fund.
Mr. Najib has denied any wrongdoing and has suggested that the corruption allegations are part of a "political sabotage" against Malaysia's longtime ruling coalition.馬來西亞總理納吉布免除了副總理和總檢察長的職務。納吉布由於嚴重欺詐指控而面臨越來越大的壓力。
納吉布星期二發表電視講話,宣佈免除副總理毛希丁的職務。毛希丁是納吉布最激烈的批評者之一。
早些時候,馬來西亞政府發表聲明說,總檢察長帕泰爾由於“健康原因”而被免職。此前帕泰爾一直在協助調查納吉布總理是否從一項政府投資項目中收取了七億多美元。
納吉布否認自己有任何不當行爲,並暗示腐敗指控是針對馬來西亞長期執政聯盟的“政治破壞”。
