Najib Razak says the RM543,530 watch for his wife Rosmah was the only purchase he did for personal purposes.
“At the time, I was on a vacation with my family and but back home, Kelantan and Terengganu had been hit with the worst floods in 70 years,” he said when examined by counsel, Muhammad Shafee Abdullah. “I explained to my family and they were sad that I had to leave them and return to Malaysia immediately,” he said.“My son Ashman, who worked in Istanbul, had arrived in Honolulu but only to find out that I was not there. Therefore, I made the decision to placate my family and to buy something of my wife’s choice,” he said.
“A golf game is long and the president has to stay for five hours on the golf course,” he said, adding that he was then dealing with the “most powerful man” on earth.
