PETALING JAYA:
Umno leaders from Melaka and Pahang are among those who visited former prime minister Najib Razak at his house in Kuala Lumpur, which has been the focus of a police investigation that has led to shocking seizures of luxury items worth millions of ringgit.

Among those who came were about a dozen Pahang Umno members.

He later told reporters that more division chiefs are expected to visit Najib.

“I pray for his health and I hope he braves this ordeal patiently,” he said when met at the entrance to the bungalow on Jalan Langgak Duta in Taman Duta, here.

A heavy police presence still remains in the neighbourhood. Police are reportedly still trying to open several safe boxes, after successfully breaking into one which had not been opened for two decades.

Najib, whose coalition lost to Pakatan Harapan in the May 9 polls, has been summoned to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) office in Putrajaya on Tuesday, as part of investigations into allegations of corruption and embezzlement involving troubled state firm 1MDB.
