PETALING JAYA: A spokesman for Datuk Seri Najib Razak has dismissed the former prime minister's arrest on Tuesday (July 3) as an act of political vengeance by the Pakatan Harapan government led by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

According to an unnamed spokesman, the arrest by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) was expected since Pakatan took over the government, as its leadership had already "delivered the guilty verdict" against the former premier in public.
