KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysians have swung behind a social media campaign to hand chocolates to police in a rebuke of ousted leader Datuk Seri Najib Razak, who complained officers combing his family's properties for evidence of corruption helped themselves to their sweets. Najib ruled Malaysia for nearly 10 years and is accused of siphoning millions of dollars from the country's coffers. Najib's lawyer, Harpal Singh Grewal, who made the initial complaint, said he did not know what type of chocolates Najib was concerned about. "They were important to my client, who told me to include that in the statement," he said. Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department director Datuk Seri Amar Singh Ishar Singh, has promised "stern action ... if the allegations are found to be true".
