He said matters pertaining to 1MDB should not be publicly discussed as there was an ongoing probe and as such everyone should respect the due process of the law.

He was speaking at the residence of former prime minister Najib Razak where he launched a solidarity fund aimed at raising RM500,000 to help pay for Najib’s bail after the former prime minister was charged at the Kuala Lumpur High Court yesterday.

The court had set a bail amount of RM1 million on Najib who is facing four charges linked to RM42 million transferred into his private bank account.

The court allowed Najib to post bail in two instalments with the balance of RM500,000 to be submitted by 3pm next Monday.

Razlan said Najib was deeply touched by the initiative to launch the solidarity fund.

“From our meeting just now, Najib said that he is a victim of political revenge.

“He is touched by the initiative. We just want him to know that he is not alone.

“We are here for him as he really needs moral and financial support from us,” he said.

Razlan said the fund would be accepting donations until noon on Monday.
