Former MP calls for audit of Najib fine donation funds

An ex-Damansara parliamentarian has urged authorities to conduct a comprehensive audit of contributions collected to pay former Prime Minister Najib Razak's court-ordered financial penalties.

The former legislator stressed that such an examination is vital to confirm that all donations were obtained through legitimate means and to prevent potential misappropriation of funds.

The call for transparency comes as ongoing efforts continue to raise money for Najib's substantial fines following his convictions. The former premier has faced multiple court rulings imposing significant financial penalties over recent years.

Advocates of the proposed audit contend that transparent management of such donations is crucial for maintaining public trust and ensuring proper oversight. The appeal reflects wider concerns about accountability standards in handling funds collected for high-profile legal matters.

Clear documentation and independent verification of donation sources and usage would help establish whether all contributions have been properly managed and allocated exclusively for their stated purpose.
