Did contractors help pay Najib’s RM50mil fine, DAP MP asks
Kampar MP Chong Zhemin says a poster circulating online claims seven contractors paid for the former prime minister’s fine.
DAP MP Chong Zhemin has called on Umno to clarify a poster claiming that seven contractors involved in rural road projects paid Najib Razak's RM50 million fine. Chong expressed skepticism regarding the claim and urged Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, the Umno president, not to engage in reciprocal favors. He called for an official list of JALB contractors, disclosure of projects with pending payments under his leadership, and transparency in approved and new JALB projects.
Umno's secretary-general Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki had earlier stated that the party settled Najib's fine, enabling him to serve the remainder of his sentence in confinement.
