RM10 per member: Umno sets RM30mil goal to help Najib pay court fine
KUALA LUMPUR: Umno is targeting up to RM30 million for the Tabung Solidariti Najib Razak if all of its estimated 3.8 million members nationwide contribute to the fund.
Umno aims to raise up to RM30 million for the Tabung Solidariti Najib Razak if every one of its estimated 3.8 million nationwide members contribute at least RM10 each, according to Datuk Razlan Rafii, a supreme council member. The fund's goal is to help former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak cover a RM50 million fine imposed as a condition of his conditional pardon.
Razlan asserts that the target is realistic, as after collecting initial funds, contributions will become easier with the release of a bank QR code enabling digital contributions. The fund was launched to support Najib, who has previously faced challenges related to alleged misappropriation of SRC International funds. Razlan also addressed negative reactions on social media, stating that opposition reactions are deliberately generated by certain parties using cyber armies, which are not representative of Malaysians.
He urged the public to consider Najib's contributions and services fairly and criticized some government leaders who valued their positions over their principles when Najib was granted a pardon.
