KUALA LUMPUR: Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said it is “ludicrous” he would knowingly siphon money from a Minister of Finance Inc (MoF Inc) company into his personal accounts. “It is so ludicrous for me to take money from an MoF Inc company to begin with and in some way or manner put it into my personal accounts. If I wanted to cheat, I would have been a stupid person to put it into my personal accounts,” he said. “I’m not the most intelligent but I’m not so stupid as to put stolen money into a personal account. Najib is facing seven charges of abuse of power, criminal breach of trust and money laundering involving RM42 million he received in his personal bank accounts from SRC.
