UMNO Leader: Najib Told Supreme Council He Never Took 1MDB Money

Datuk Seri Najib Razak had explained to Umno Supreme Council members about allegations of billions of ringgit going into his personal accounts, newly-appointed deputy minister Datuk Ahmad Maslan said tonight.

He rejected claims made by former deputy prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin in a leaked video clip that Najib had admitted to receiving US$700 million (RM2.67 billion) in his bank accounts.

Ahmad Maslan, who is also an Umno supreme council member, dismissed Muhyiddin’s claim and said Najib, who is prime minister and also Umno president, had already explained the matter.

“It’s not true, it was not channeled or otherwise,” he said when met after the Matrade Hari Raya open house tonight.

“The president had already given a briefing to Supreme Council members on the matter, that he had never used money from 1MDB nor put it in his accounts,” Ahmad Maslan added.

The allegation was reported on July 2 by The Wall Street Journal, which said it had sourced the information from documents from Malaysian investigators.

Najib has publicly denied taking money for personal gain but has not directly addressed the alleged fund transfers. The biggest portion of funds, which according to WSJ is US$681 million, had been transferred to his accounts at AmBank in Kuala Lumpur in March 2013, ahead of the general elections in May that year.

The leaked video of Muhyiddin speaking in his home where he received visitors and supporters after being sacked from the Cabinet, showed him recounting a confrontation he had with Najib, in which he said the prime minister admitted to having the money “from the Middle East” in his account.

Those accounts in AmBank have since been closed, while Najib has blamed former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, for conspiring with foreigners to bring down his administration.

Leaked Video! Muhyiddin Claimed Najib Admitted RM2.6 Billion In His Account

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak admitted that US$700 million (RM2.6 billion) was transferred into his accounts, former deputy prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said in a video (see below) that has leaked on the Internet.

In the video, Muhyiddin appeared to be informing his guests at his home last night that he had confronted Najib on The Wall Street Journal’s report that US$700 million (RM2.67 billion) of funds from 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB)-linked firms were deposited into Najib’s personal accounts.

“I asked him (Najib) from whom? He did not mention the name, from somewhere in the Middle East. How much?… Hard to count, he said ‘a lot, a lot’.

“Then I asked why was it transferred to your accounts?… Why did it enter Najib Razak’s accounts? How much money? US$700 million.

“If you multiply that by three point something…2.6 billion goes into his personal account. He said this, he admitted,” Muhyiddin said in the leaked video.

The video ends abruptly after Muhyiddin says, “so I said why did you put into your personal account”.

In the video, Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir could be seen seated beside Muhyiddin.

Mukhriz’s visit to the former deputy prime minister’s house took place yesterday, the same day Najib reshuffled the Cabinet, dropping Muhyiddin as his deputy.

Muhyiddin was sacked two days after he told an Umno Cheras division meeting that The Wall Street Journal’s report was a serious matter that needs explaining.

Najib had said members of the Cabinet should not air their differences in an open forum that can affect public opinion against Malaysia and the government.

Meanwhile, Malaysiakini reports former Umno supreme council member Tan Sri Abdul Kadir Sheikh confirming that the conversation in the video took place.

“I don’t want to comment on it. It was a private conversation. It wasn’t supposed to be recorded. Mukhriz had asked people not to record it,” Kadir was quoted as saying by the news portal.

The Malaysian Insider has asked one of Muhyiddin’s officers to verify the video but the query has not been answered.

Meanwhile, in a statement posted on Mukhriz’s website earlier today, the Kedah menteri besar said he accepted the prime minister’s decision to reshuffle the Cabinet as it was his prerogative to do so.

He thanked Muhyiddin, who had also been education minister, for helping in the development of schools in Kedah.

Mukhriz added that he and Muhyiddin had not discussed anything else of importance.

Earlier this month, WSJ and whistleblower website Sarawak Report reported that up to US$700 million (RM2.67 billion) was allegedly transferred from state-owned funds to two bank accounts under Najib’s name with AmBank in March 2013.

The prime minister, however, has denied ever taking any funds from 1MDB for “personal gain” but has not commented directly on the fund transfers. His accounts that allegedly received the funds have since been closed.

Najib has also blamed former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Mukhriz’s father, whom he accused of working with foreign agents against his administration.

3-Month Old Baby Left Blind In One Eye, Damaged From Camera Flash

A baby is left blind in one eye after a family friend forgot to turn off the flash while taking a close-up photograph.

Doctors said the three-month-old, who has not been named, has suffered irreparable damage from the flash of the camera, which was held about 10 inches away from the baby boy.

The parents noticed that there was something wrong with their baby’s vision soon after the photograph was taken, reported the People’s Daily Online.

Following the incident, the baby suffered from reduced vision in his left eye and blindness in his right eye. The damage is said to be permanent and cannot be fixed with surgery.

The strong flash has damaged cells on the macula, which is the part of the eye where incoming light rays are focused.

Damage to the macula can lead to the loss of central vision, which allows people to see straight ahead.

The macula is not fully developed until children are four, meaning youngsters are very sensitive to strong light.

Experts have said that while babies will shut their eyes when exposed to light on reflex, just milliseconds of strong light can cause permanent damage.

They added that parents should be careful of strong bathroom lights when their babies are taking a bath.

It is not clear whether the family friend will face any legal action following the incident.
