Najib owes it to Malaysians to disclose unequivocal truth about 1MDB

MALAYSIA'S besieged Prime Minister Najib Razak - who is facing the biggest test in his seven-year premiership both politically and personally - is very much in need of a strategic volte-face.

He needs to tell the Malaysian people (yes, those who democratically elected him) the truth - unequivocally and with clarity.

Abdicating that responsibility to a special task force (more so as he seems determined to continue in his prime ministerial post) may simply not be good enough.
