KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 26, 2025: The High Court today found the corrupt, disgraced and shameless former Umno president and prime minister Najib “1MDB” Razak guilty on all 25 charges of abuse of power and money laundering linked to 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) international financial scandal.
High Court Judge Justice Collin Lawrence Sequerah ruled that the defence failed to raise reasonable doubt on the prosecution’s case.
Najib abused his power as finance minister and prime minister on four counts and laundered money on 21 counts involving RM2.28 billion in 1MDB funds deposited in his AmBank accounts between February 2011 and December 2014.
It is now clearly padan muka (serves you right in your face) to the racial and religious bigoted Umno for shamelessly supporting its thieving former president.
Umno has been lobbying for jailbird Najib, now serving a jail sentence in Kajang Prison, to be “freed” (also read as house arrest/backdoor freedom).
This is the man who stole millions, if not billions, of Ringgit from the rakyat dan negara (people and country) and mismanaged the Sovereign Wealth Fund (1MDB) until Malaysians have to service interest and principle debts/loans until 2053!
Of course law-abiding and honest Malaysians are celebrating because the courts are upholding the law and justice by jailing the country’s No.1 thief/pencuri, thereby sentencing the Umno thief to serve more time in Kajang Prison.
And, what is wrong with Malaysians wanting to celebrate the jailing of a thief/pencuri who is responsible for the world largest financial scandal in history.
Only a pencuri party like Umno will shamelessly try to get Najib freed!

PUTRAJAYA: The High Court here has found former prime minister Najib Razak guilty on all 25 charges of abuse of power and money laundering in his 1MDB case.
Justice Collin Lawrence Sequerah ruled that the defence failed to raise reasonable doubt on the prosecution’s case.
Sequerah found that Najib had interests in various 1MDB projects, including the PetroSaudi joint venture project, the acquisition of two independent power plants (IPPs), a joint venture with Aabar to develop Tun Razak Exchange, as well as taking a US$1.25 billion loan to purchase an option buy-back.
The court said the money trail presented by the prosecution showed that funds deposited into Najib’s accounts had originated from 1MDB.
“The defence never sought to rebut the report made by BNM (Bank Negara Malaysia) analyst Adam Ariff Roslan,” Sequerah said.
He also said Najib’s action in “returning” more than US$620 million after the 2013 general election raised questions.
However, a year after the funds were “returned” to the sender, Tanore Finance Corporation, Sequerah said Najib received fresh funds, allegedly in the form of a “donation”.
“The return of the donation was a cover-up (of his wrongdoing),” he said.
The court will now hear mitigation from Najib’s lawyers and the prosecution before sentencing is determined.
Najib had stood trial on four counts of abuse of power and 21 of money laundering involving RM2.28 billion in 1MDB funds deposited in his AmBank accounts between February 2011 and December 2014.
A total of 50 witnesses testified during the prosecution’s case, which spanned 253 hearing days from Aug 28, 2019 to May 30, 2024.
During the defence stage, Najib’s lawyers called 26 witnesses to support his case.
The defence hearing began on Dec 2 last year and concluded on May 6.
Oral submissions were heard by the court over 10 days ending on Nov 4.
