'I don't do fake news' says Najib


PETALING JAYA: After being accused of making false claims on social media, former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has clapped back, saying that figures from the Statistics Department show a sharp rise in income inequality during the Pakatan Harapan administration.

"I don't do false claims or fake news. The World Bank may only have records until 2015 but our Statistics Department has been recording this for decades," said Najib in a Facebook post on Tuesday (May 31).
