- 2 years ago
Former CIMB Group Holdings chairperson Nazir Abdul Razak expressed regret for helping his eldest brother, former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak, cash cheques for the 13th general election that later turned out to be 1MDB-linked.
Detailing the incident in his memoir 'What's In A Name', Nazir said in the run-up to the 2013 polls, Najib approached him to help turn four cheques totalling RM25.7 million into cash to be used for campaigning.
In 2016, it was revealed by the Wall Street Journal that the cheques came from an account owned by Najib where misappropriated 1MDB funds had been channelled.
