What an insane turn of events!
According to NST, the “Free Najib” fund reportedly achieved their RM500,000 target to pay the remaining bail of former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
Najib was charged on Wednesday with three counts of criminal breach of trust and one count of abuse of power involving missing money from state fund 1MDB.
The charges are in connection with how RM42 million went from SRC International, a former 1MDB unit, into Najib’s personal bank account.

According to Malaysiakini, Najib’s children, Nooryana Najwa and Noorashman arrived at the court at 10.04am today, to post the remaining RM500,000 bail amount.

“Thank god we managed to collect the RM500,000 that was needed to bail Najib,” said Datuk Lokman Noor Adam, President of Pemantau Malaysia Baru (PMB), as quoted by NST. He further stated that they will continue to run the donation drive to help settle Najib’s legal fees which amounted to RM2.4 million.
