Former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak said the RM2.6 billion donation that he had received in his personal bank account helped avoid another attempt of Anwar Ibrahim's 'September 16' plan to seize federal power.
Najib also reiterated his close relationship with the late Saudi monarch Abdullah Abdulaziz Al-Saud, and the various gifts, contributions, and allowances the king had given him, such as awarding him with Saudi Arabia’s highest award and giving Malaysia a larger quota for hajj pilgrimages.
He also maintained that the funds in his personal bank account had came from King Abdullah, and these had been channelled through the Saudi Finance Ministry and King Abdullah’s princes.
