PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak told the High Court on Monday that receiving funds allegedly described as donations from the late King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia into his personal bank account did not violate any rules under the Code of Ethics for Members of the Administration and Parliament.
Kamal Baharin: Would you agree that, based on this provision, you, as the then-Prime Minister, were not allowed to accept any gifts that could compromise your integrity? Najib said while he was not obligated to inform the Cabinet, he did hint during Cabinet meetings that King Abdullah would provide financial support.
When asked whether he informed the Cabinet about all four transactions of the donations deposited into his account, Najib replied,"only once."
