- 2 years ago
Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz confirmed that the Cabinet has discussed the request from former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak for a piece of land and house worth RM100 million.
This came after Dr Mahathir Mohamad (Pejuang-Langkawi) questioned why Najib’s request for an RM100-million piece of land and house was not included in Budget 2022.
“The Finance Minister should explain every item in the Budget but now I find that there is an item that is not mentioned in the Budget.
“This is about the gift for the former prime minister Najib, who will be given a piece of land and house worth RM100 million because of his supposed contributions to the country.
“I want to know what were his contributions? As far as I know, he is a convict who has been sentenced to 12 years of jail and a compound more than RM200 million,” Mahathir had asked.
