Harapan fell after my 'sumpah laknat'? Najib says God shows who is right
Harapan fell after my 'sumpah laknat'? Najib says God shows who is right
Former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak does not rule out divine intervention in the way the Pakatan Harapan government collapsed.
In a video by online portal Malaysia Gazette, the Pekan MP pointed to comments that said the collapse happened “66 days” after he took a “sumpah laknat” against those who slandered him over Altantuya Shaariibuu’s murder.
A sumpah laknat is an oath beseeching God to curse those who are in the wrong.
“I am unable to make a similar conclusion, but the last sentence of my oath was rather serious. I thought about it many times before I said it.
“The sentence means that if I lied, I would ask God to curse me forever. And if others slandered me and as long as they did not apologise, I would ask them to be cursed by God. It was a heavy thing to say,” he said.
Nevertheless, Najib said he read the sentence as part of his oath because he wanted to “uphold the truth” against the slander.
“This was my last weapon. I asked God and God has shown. God will show who is right,” he added.
Taken back in December 2019, the oath had been in response to an accusation by former police special action force (UTK) officer Azilah Hadri that Najib had ordered Altantuya's murder in 2006.
In his statutory declaration (SD) from death row, Azilah alleged that Najib had convinced him that Altantuya was a foreign spy who posed a threat to national security.
