Najib: Travesty of justice as Muhyiddin receives direct bribes but money enters my account unknowingly





WHETHER this is a sheer case of the pot calling the kettle black or otherwise, incarcerated ex-premier Datuk Seri Najib Razak has indirectly shed more light into the Jana Wibawa scandal by drawing comparison between his own SRC International’s RM42 mil fund abscondment and the latter case involving his ‘successor’ Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

While there is no evidence that the recipient has ever ordered or requested the funds to be deposited into his account with regard to the SRC International case, the former Pekan MP claimed that in the Jana Wiabawa case, “funding was received from contractors multiple times in a gradual manner every time a project was given out”.

“(Bersatu’s former) information chief (probably referring to Datuk Wan Saiful Wan Jan), cousin of his son-in-law, his best friend and he himself received funds and were charged,” Najib penned in a recent Facebook post.



“The source of funds was the many contractors who were accorded government projects under direct negotiation in the pretext of COVID pandemic and Emergency.”

To re-cap, Muhyiddin who is also the Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman faces a total of seven counts of charges whereby hr has pleaded not guilty to four counts of abuse of power and three counts of money laundering involving RM237.5 mil linked to the Jana Wibawa programme.



The case of the Pagoh MP will be heard before the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court on May 26.

Delving further on his argument, Najib claimed that beneficiaries of the bribes had consulted with their givers at the stage when the projects were being farmed out.

“The funders (bribe givers) will confirm to the court that the recipients were indeed waiting for payments,” he asserted. “All recipients were aware of the funds being deposited in their respective bank accounts.”

Moreover, Najib justified that “not a single recipient has ever ordered BNM (Bank Negara Malaysia) or (any other) banks to monitor their accounts”.

“The funds were used for personal needs as well as for the national polls’ campaigns. There were also allegations that the funds were used to bribe voters,” he pointed out.

“Even the sister of Muhyiddin’s son-in-law’s has been remanded for trying to bribe the MACC (Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission) with RM400,000 to stop investigations related to Jana Wibawa on Muhyiddin’s son. He has been accused of soliciting and accepting bribes numerous times.” – April 10, 2023
