KUALA LUMPUR, July 17 — Datuk Seri Najib Razak today said a 2014 bill worth around half a million ringgit at luxury brand Chanel’s store in Honolulu, Hawaii was during his trip to play golf with then US president Barack Obama.
One of the luxury expenses linked by WSJ to Najib then was the use of his credit card for US$130,625 at Chanel’s outlet in Honolulu on December 22, 2014, which the news report said was two days before Najib played golf with Obama. He offered no additional details of the Chanel purchase, but instead spoke about the criticisms he had faced for playing golf with Obama during massive floods in Kelantan then.
In the same Facebook post today, Najib reiterated that he had in his Facebook post on Monday already explained the RM3.3m purchase, but this time offered a further clue on the identity of the alleged “royalty” from an unnamed country that received the purported gift. It is unclear when the promised unveiling of the purported receiver of the gift worth RM3.3 million would be disclosed in court, or whether the upcoming prosecution witnesses in Najib’s trial would be testifying or questioned on the matter.
