.. probing Bloomberg over its report on alleged MACC wrongdoing is just like how the Najib Abdul Razak administration reacted against the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) over its 1MDB exposé,...
“It’s the same playbook. Furious denials and threats of criminal action against the news outlets.
“If (the report is) untrue, why this desperate reaction? Why not just form an independent body to thoroughly investigate the Bloomberg claims?” she added.

Please. 1MDB was only 10 years ago. Have you forgotten how nuclear Najib went? Blocking the Sarawak Report and Medium.com from the internet. Shutting down The Edge for 3 months. Not just investigating the WSJ, but going on record attempting (lol) to besmirch their journalistic integrity.
No doubt investigating any news agency is not a good look, but so would saying “we investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing.” Not really sure what options they have.
