PUTRAJAYA (Oct 5): Former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamed has appealed to the Council of Rulers to take action over alleged wrongdoings concerning 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) when the council meets on Oct 11. Mahathir said he is appealing to the council after failing to convince Yang DiPertuan Agung Tuanku Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah to use his power to remove Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak over the 1MDB scandal. "We appeal to the Rulers Council to take action on all the wrong things that are being done by Najib. We want their opinion about 1MDB and the suit by DOJ, and want them to take action on it. Mahathir said he was making the call to the rulers on behalf of the 1.2 million Malaysians who signed the Citizens' Declaration.
