KUANTAN: Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has dismissed as ridiculous Kuantan MP Fuziah Salleh's assertion that Lynas is allowed to stay due to the previous government being in too much debt.

"She said the previous government owed too much money so the Pakatan Harapan government now has to borrow RM7.3bil in Samurai bonds earlier this year.

The Barisan Nasional advisory board chairman said no one forced Malaysia to borrow from Japan, and in his time as prime minister, his government never borrowed from the country. Najib pointed out that the country's debt rose from RM686.8bil at the end of 2017 to RM807bil now with nearly RM120bil in the increase being from domestic loans made in ringgit.

Najib also asked why Fuziah did not mention that the Pakatan government received RM175mil from Lynas recently.
