Right now, our former prime minister Dato’ Sri Najib Razak is under trial after he was charged with several counts of money laundering and power abuse. Recently, we learnt a piece of shocking information about Najib in his latest trial.
Astro Awani wrote that an ex-banker told the High Court yesterday (6th August 2019) that a large sum of RM606.51 million was deposited into three of Najib’s bank accounts. The above-mentioned amount was spent by the former Umno president in the span of three years. That’s a lot of money to spend in three years!
A netizen who retweeted Astro Awani’s post did the math for us and he calculated that Najib may have spent over RM500,000 every day in three years. He wrote,
“IOW (In other words), Najib spent RM553,890 every day, for three years. Many Malaysians can’t even afford to buy a house or condo of that price in their lifetime.”
