Former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak is unperturbed that the infamous Al-Jazeera interview during which he walked out on has bagged an award in the UK.

"I have no problems walking away from a foreign reporter as long as I do not walk away from my people," Najib said on Facebook today.

The interview, conducted by Al-Jazeera's Mary Ann Jolley in October 2018, was awarded interview of the year by UK's Royal Television Society.
