Lifting asset freeze not enough to cover RM50mil fine, says Najib’s son
Nizar Najib says 'a lot more needs to be done' to raise the amount, and thanked all those who donated over RM36,000 in Pekan.
Former prime minister Najib Razak's son, Nizar Najib, has stated that even if the freeze on his father's assets were lifted, he would still be unable to pay the RM50 million fine for his SRC International conviction. The Peramu Jaya assemblyman emphasized that lifting the freeze would only help his father in a small way to reach the required amount.
At a press conference following a Pekan Umno meeting, Nizar said that more needs to be done to raise the funds. He also thanked the public for contributing RM36,000 to the Najib Razak Solidarity Fund, which currently stands at over RM2 million. Nizar, a Pahang executive councillor, noted that these voluntary contributions came from individuals of various ethnicities and backgrounds, indicating that Najib remains popular among many Malaysians.
