 Former prime minister Najib Razak, who is
currently out on bail after being charged in
the 1MDB scandal, took to his Facebook
page to share, what he claims, are
documents that prove how it was the Saudi
Arabian Royalty that donated USD100
million to him in 2011
o In the Facebook post, which was uploaded last
night around 8pm, Najib shared a set of six
documents allegedly from the late King Abdullah
with one bearing the words "Recognition of
Contribution to the Islamic World", dated 1
February 2011.
 The documents, which have not been verified by
any authority as of yet, purports to show that the
private office of Saud Abdulaziz Majid al-Saud has
granted the USD100 million (RM415 million) sum
to Najib who has the "absolute discretion to
determine how the gift shall be utilised" to
"promote Islam so it continues to flourish".

According to Najib, most of the funds he received

were used for BN's political purposes. "For
example, I had given these funds to UMNO Johor
to buy some vans. Unfortunately, the PH
government has recently confiscated these vans,"
he wrote.

 Here's what the above two documents

says:
o Your Excellency,

RECOGNITION OF CONTRIBUTION TO THE

ISLAMIC WORLD

I hope this letter finds you in good health. I have

been following your work recently and I am
impressed with the work that you have done to
govern Malaysian using Islamic principles and
how you are reintroducing Islam to the rest of
world in view of the current perception that many
people have 9/11.

Your suggestion to launch the Global Movement of

the Moderates during the recent United Nations
General Assembly in New York and the 17th Asean
Summit shows a modern way of dealing with
issues on international terrorism and extremist
groups.

In view of the friendship that we have developed

over the years and your new ideas as a modern
Islamic leader, I hereby grant you a sum of United
States Dollars One Hundred Million
(USD100,000,000) Only ("Gift") which shall be
remitted to you at such times and in such manner
as I deem fit.

You shall have absolute discretion to determine

how the Gift shall be utilised and I am confident
that your actions will continue to promote Islam
so it continues to flourish. This is merely a small
gesture on my part but it is my way of
contributing to the development of Islam to the
world.

This letter is issued as a gesture of good faith and

for clarification, I do not expect to receive any
personal benefit whether directly or indirectly as
a result of the Gift.

The Gift should not, in any event, be construed as

an act of corruption since this is against the
practice of Islam and I personally do not
encourage such practices in any manner
whatsoever.

This is merely a personal token of appreciation

and I am hoping that the Gift would encourage
 you to continue with your good work to promote
Islam around the world.

 In his post, Najib claimed that the funds

came after the Arab Spring incident in late
2010 as the late King Abdullah was very
concerned after knowing that there was a
possibility of a Malaysian Spring
o "The late King Abdullah was very concerned at
the time and acted to fund leaders and Muslim
governments in order to ensure stability.

"At the time, the price of oil was at an all-time

high and the Saudi government had derived a
huge income as a result.

"The king was concerned after knowing that there

was a possibility of a Malaysian Spring, as
Malaysia was also a Muslim country although it
was not in the Middle East or Africa.

"Due to these concerns as well as our close

relationship, in early 2011, the king promised to
prepare funds for me and the party to be used in
Malaysia," he wrote.

"The late King Abdullah had also made it a point

for the donations not be published for mass
consumption. However, considering I am no more
the Prime Minister, and King Abdullah has passed
on, I feel the time is right for me to reveal these
documents to vindicate myself from the
 accusations and slander," the former UMNO
president added.

 The other four documents that Najib shared

in his Facebook post, which he claimed he
and his lawyer spent a long time to obtain
 Ending his post, Najib said that he will soon
explain, via Facebook or through a press
conference, the contributions he continued
to receive for years after 2011 — including
the issue of RM2.6 billion
