Segambut lawmaker Lim Lip Eng said this in response to a report by a pro-Umno blog, MyKMU.net, that claimed the RM55million transferred to local fashion house, Jakel Trading, was meant for charitable causes, including providing clothes for disaster victims and orphanages.
The blog also said carpets were bought for mosques.
MyKMU.net’s article came following a Wall Street Journal exposé last week, alleging that Jakel Trading received USD14 million (RM55 million) from Najib from 2011 to 2014.
According to WSJ, documents revealed that Jakel was one of the most regular recipients of funds from Najib’s private bank accounts.
“Looking at the amount, Najib is definitely the biggest donor in the world,” Lim said at a press conference at the Parliament lobby here today.
He also wondered, he said, if the blog was admitting, on Najib’s behalf, that the prime minister had spent the sum at Jakel.
“I want Jakel to provide the receipts as proof that Najib bought the items from Jakel for charity purposes.”
Lim also wanted Najib to come clean and explain to the people how he obtained the RM55 million as the PM’s monthly salary, he claimed, was RM50,000.
