An Umno supreme council member has said it is known that the party president has party accounts under his name, but how much is in it is never asked.
“We know that there is an Umno bank account and accounts (under the president’s own name), which are operating expense accounts.
“There are accounts held in the name of leaders like the president or state liaison chairpersons,” said supreme council member and Deputy Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister Tajuddin Abdul Rahman.
"We have taken note of the matter (revelations of RM6.2 billion in Prime Minister Najib Razak’s personal accounts).
“We know. But how much, we do not ask. We trust in our leaders," he said at the opening of the Ampang Umno Wanita annual general meeting at the Ampang Umno office hall today.
Weeks after Wall Street Journal alleged that funds from state-owned 1MDB had been transferred into Najib’s personal accounts, the PM finally admitted that the money comprised “party donations” from a foreign source.
Najib yesterday claimed the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has therefore cleared him of any corruption allegations, a claim that opposition MPs have disputed. - M'kini
