  • HUH? If the money is donation, shouldn't UMNO be the one to furnish details FOR the claim?

  • The money is evidence in the 1MDB case. Until the funds are given a clean bill of health, and the court case disposed, it has to be kept as evidence by the police/ authorities..

  • UMNO could NOT provide the total amount of $, so of course UMNO waited until the $ was counted & valuation done, so that UMNO can sneakily claim the loot. Watch out for these snakes, Pakatan as they will stoop to anything to get the $ to strike back. Beware, there is a sinister plot at work here!

  • Yes, the money belongs to UMNO but the donor do not wish to disclose his name. So return back the money because cant even pay bills

  • Donations? Oh really? All in cash? Hard to believe. Why in the former PMs property and not with the treasurer of the organisation? Something not right here. Why is the cash not in the bank account? Why do you need so much cash lying around? In foreign exchange as well? Come on UMNO. Piss off.

  • Even the money behind the fake wall?

    If UMNO's money should have been in UMNO's bank account not Najib's or his residence.

    Who do you think you are fooling??
