The debate among former Prime Minister Najib Razak’s circle is now revolving around his recent ‘admission’ in court that he now realises that RM42 million found stashed in his personal account was not from a Saudi donation or royal family. At a presser last week, Shafee insisted that his client continues to maintain that the RM42 million deposited into his personal bank account was a donation from a Saudi monarch. The lawyer also reminded Najib that the so-called “Saudi donation” defence had already been dismissed by multiple courts in the separate SRC criminal trial. “This particular defence of the Saudi donation was dismissed by all levels of the courts… is that a correct statement?” Kwan asked. “Yes,” Najib said, adding that he “didn’t have the opportunity to do a full explanation at the Federal Court.”“All said and done… that is correct, isn’t it?” he asked.
