The former prime minister says this was why the kingdom skipped the KL Summit last year. FMTNews KingSalman
Najib Razak with Saudi monarch King Salman Abdul Aziz in May 2017. The then government had offered a piece of land in Putrajaya for the proposed King Salman Centre for International Peace.
And this, the Pekan MP said, was the reason Saudi Arabia skipped the KL Summit in December last year. The ceramah was attended by Umno deputy president Mohamad Hasan and his PAS counterpart, Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man, as well as Umno Youth chief Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki. Najib went on to say that when he was the prime minister, there was an increase in quota for Malaysians to perform their haj as he had applied for it through King Salman every year.
Critics, however, questioned the partnership with Saudi Arabia to fight terrorism, highlighting Riyadh’s military and ideological role worldwide.
