Lim Kit Siang Accused Najib of Lying Due to a Discrepancy in a Police Report

Lim Kit Siang accused Datuk Seri Najib Razak of lying because a police report, which Najib claimed would be lodged against himself for reinvestigation into murder allegations, was instead filed against Lim Kit Siang. This occurred after Najib stated on Facebook that he would instruct an aide to lodge a report against himself to facilitate a reinvestigation by the Pakatan Harapan government. Lim also questioned Najib's stance on reopening investigations into the 2006 murder of Altantuya Shaariibuu and Najib's accountability as head of government for the 2009 death of Teoh Beng Hock.
Discrepancy in the Police Report's Target

Najib Razak stated on Facebook that he would ask his aide to lodge a police report against himself, ostensibly to allow for reinvestigation into his alleged involvement in several murder cases. However, the police report that was subsequently lodged by Najib's aide was directed against Lim Kit Siang, not against Najib himself, leading Lim to label Najib a "liar."
Questions Regarding Altantuya Shaariibuu's Murder

Beyond the police report issue, Lim Kit Siang also posed questions to Najib regarding the 2006 murder of Mongolian national Altantuya Shaariibuu. Lim inquired whether Najib would support a motion in Parliament to reopen investigations into this case, referencing that the Inspector-General of Police had previously stated the renewed investigation into Altantuya’s murder was complete in July.
Accountability for Teoh Beng Hock's Death

The exchange between Najib and Lim also touched upon the 2009 death of political aide Teoh Beng Hock. Lim Kit Siang had declared that while Najib might not have directly killed Teoh Beng Hock, he should bear responsibility as the head of the government at the time. Najib responded to this by questioning why Lim took 10 years to make this public declaration.
