Nicked from 1MDB or donation?

Political hands in the cookie jar

Recap of an oft-told tale – billions flowed into Najib Abdul Razak's personal bank accounts. The US Department of Justice (DOJ) believes it was misappropriated from 1MDB but Najib claims it was a donation.

The former premier claims he used a portion of the monies for the 13th general election. Malaysiakini looks at the political beneficiaries.

** IPF is not part of the BN coalition but a BN-friendly party.
List of BN parties are based on the configuration in the 13th general election. 10 out of the 13 parties have quit BN after the 14th general election.

The Personalities

"The genesis was when I met with (then Saudi Arabia) King Abdullah. I asked him to support the (BN) government... he agreed for the support and subsequently we received letters and the money was credited... I used the money for the elections and after the elections, the money was returned." [Read the story]

— Former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak
"He (Najib) in his capacity as prime minister and BN chairperson, did reveal that in that election, BN will support its component parties’ finances... I said that I have joined politics for more than 20 years and gone through five general elections, (we) have never received a single sen from BN before... When the election came, he delivered - he was able to disburse some funds." [Read the story]

— Former MCA president Chua Soi Lek
"Funds were stolen under the pretence of a 1MDB investment in oil exploration... The Malaysian people were defrauded on an enormous scale (in) a scheme which tentacles reached around the world." [Read the story]

— Former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe
"This publication (of cheques from Najib) by Sarawak Report is, in my view, an effort to cast aspersions on the SUPP leadership then and now, in the hope of misleading voters on current issues that are important to the people of Sarawak... I want to assure every voter that SUPP has not done anything wrong under the existing laws of our country." [Read the story]

Former SUPP president Peter Chin
"Najib never gave me a single sen... As for the money received by the party, it is normal for the BN chairperson to assist component parties to organise programmes to help the rakyat." [Read the story]

The Timeline

Disclaimer

At least four of Najib's bank accounts have been highlighted by international reports as having either received funds that were purportedly linked to 1MDB or SRC International, a former 1MDB subsidiary. This microsite focuses only on one of those accounts which was highlighted by the DOJ. This account is unrelated to SRC International.
