Malaysian social media users are abuzz with anger and frustration over Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz’s disclosure in Parliament today about convicted former prime minister Najib Razak’s request for a RM100 million house in return for his service and contribution to the country. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, November 18, 2021.

SOCIAL media users are furious and confused as to why former prime minister Najib Razak had the audacity to request for a property worth RM100 million from Putrajaya.

They said it made no sense that Najib made the application after he was convicted of seven counts of criminal breach of trust, money laundering and abuse of power involving RM42 million in funds from former 1MDB unit SRC International. He is currently on trial for 25 charges of abuse of power and money laundering involving RM2.28 billion in 1MDB funds.

  • Whats there for Sabri and his Cabinet to consider? Najib already sapu US$4.2 billion, and was convicted. He didnt pay his income tax. Now hes still greedy and got the gall to request for a $100 m property and land in a prime district in KL.

  • Even though he was saying that he is applying the provision provided under the law, only a person who has no moral values and a skin as tick as the Great Wall of China would do so. He has brought this nation in such an unimaginable level of corrupt practices done at the highest office. Even without his pension he is well off and what about all the hidden and undiscovered stash of funds, which has yet to be unfolded. For a person who has been already found guilty and now under appeal any sane person or government would not entertain such request and the fact that he is putting such request under the leadership of an umno premier now speaks questionable volume for itself. Umno cant get rid of him simply due to the fact that those people belly has been fed that can last 6 generations and he still holds the piggy bank of the party. True to his mantra Cash is King, a corrupted regime to the core even now.
