KUALA LUMPUR – Datuk Seri Najib Razak has appealed for public help to cover the legal costs his family has incurred fighting numerous charges which had been filed against him and his wife.
The former prime minister posted on his Facebook page that his daughter had also started her own initiative with a group, Gerakan Belia Sejagat, to lessen their financial burden.
Najib said the group would also help activists and government critics who faced “pressure” from the authorities.
He said one such activist had already been slapped with a legal suit from Syabas for criticising the Selangor government over the water supply issue.
“Truly, my family has been facing financial pressure due to all the legal fees and also high bails that have been imposed.
“All this while our close friends and relatives have stepped forward to help out. However, if possible we don’t want to burden them anymore.
“If it is not too much, those who wish to help out can contribute to this fund,” he said, referring to the fund started by his daughter called “Solidarity Fund 2.0 DSN”.
He ended the posting by thanking all those who had prayed for the wellbeing of his family.
Najib and his wife, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, have been slapped with multiple charges of money laundering and abuse of power.
Both are out on multi million ringgit bail each.
