NAJIB Razak is under police investigation and is not entitled to the special privileges accorded to a former prime minister, said Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad tonight.

“But if he’s found innocent, he will get the same treatment as other former prime ministers,” said Dr Mahathir.

He said this while responding to Najib’s Facebook post that his police and security escort was revoked officially by the federal government today.

Najib said in a Facebook post about one hour ago said he finally bid farewell to his special police escorts, special task force officers, and other officers who had provided security at his home and the prime minister’s official residence, Seri Perdana.

“These last few weeks, the security personnel have been withdrawn by the new government except for an ADC (aide-de-camp),” Najib wrote.

The Malaysian Insight today saw the police escort Najib out of his Langgak Duta home around 6.45pm.

But when Najib returned at 7.48pm, there was no police escort.

Najib said he and his family would never forget the friendship, loyalty, and contributions shared between them for the past nine years.

He said that some of the officers had served him during his term as deputy prime minister.

“It cannot be denied that these officers shed tears when we said our farewells to one another.

“I hope the new government will look after the officers’ wellbeing because these personnel are dedicated individuals who will serve the government of today with their utmost loyalty,” Najib added.

On May 16, police raided Najib’s house and other premises linked to him.

Najib is being investigated under the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act. – May 29, 2018.

  • Najib -- In all honesty you are very lucky that you are in Malaysia. You are really a despiscable piece of humus that no rakyat steps will ever come near . Every Malaysian who are affected by your trecherous and evil actions are waiting for the moment where on your judgement day, you are founded guilty.It will take an ardous long journey to recover from your unbelievable destructions of the country sovereignity and God Blessed wealth purely just purely by your selfish greed and abnormal but distinctive traits of a hard core covetous serial wealth amasser and also a flirtatous pervert eversince you were in office from your tender age. Many knew about your sickness but the cultural obeisance thru the feudalistic society in your race allow the perpetuation of your sickness without any hinderance, what more strong and vocal support in the guise of Ketuanan. You dare to make ridiculous statement to further enrage the nation and thanks to Almight you are now cornered. The Rakyat are waiting with angst about your convicted charges . In another Asian country justice are very swift when the crime are heinous and unfathomable. Infact the family members of the guilty convict will get ready to pay for the cost of the bullets for execution but hopefully we do not have to put the stress on the family for we shall settle for just doing a humble public hanging on the highest lampost. With that it shall conclude the darkest chapter of the Malaysian biggest idiotic Kleptocrat. All the deeply entrenched hard feelings of despair ,anger , hatred and sufferings shall be put to rest and a well earned road to recovery for the rakyat
