He argued that despite the prosecution’s insistence that Najib — as the prime minister and finance minister at the material time — should know the state of his finances, the matter was not as clear cut as his opposition alleged. “Assuming the defence is true, it is extremely cumbersome and a difficult defence, because he is surrounded by the people who committed the scam where he himself is a victim,” he added.

“The most powerful man in the country is accused of wanting gratification, corrupt gratification, and he would help SRC to get the small amount and for that, he would be rewarded RM42m; the deal was made today.
