Many are calling and urging Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to apologise to Prime Minister Najib Razak for accusing the latter of corrupt by taking RM2.6b from 1MDB and for smearing Malaysia's good name on the international arena.

When Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Adel Al-Jubeir confirmed that the RM2.6b was a donation from the Saudi Royal family, Dr Mahathir was fast labelled as 'a traitor' not only for believing in foreign media reports about the scandal but also for pushing a movement to oust Najib.
The issue here is - must or will Dr Mahathir apologise?
Communications and Multimedia Minister Salleh Said Keruak said Najib had been consistent with his response on the issue, even though various baseless accusations were leveled against him.
"From the very beginning the prime minister had said that the funds were donated by the Saudi government and he was very consistent (with his response)," he told reporters after a 'Mesra Siswa Perdana 2016' programme at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Kadok, Kota Baru today.
Also present at the launch of the five-day programme was Ketereh MP Annuar Musa and 800 undergraduates from 18 public universities.
Saudi Arabian foreign minister Adel Al-Jubeir yesterday confirmed that the the donation to Najib was from his country and "nothing was expected in return."
Salleh said the admission concurred with investigations conducted by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and attorney-general Mohamed Apandi Ali that there were no elements of corruption and the money was not from 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).
Even Umno veterans club has mounted pressure on the former PM to apologise for what he had done. Also, our IGP.
Deep inside, I hope Najib will just forgive them...and move forward!
