Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) is said to have known that Prime Minister Najib Razak had deposited MYR 2.6bn ($700m) into his private account, according to the Chairman of the Barisan Nasional Backbencher Club (BNBBC), Tan Sri Shahrir Samad. Since when must political funds and political donations be revealed to all quarters? The BNM has been accused by opposition parties and some members of parliament in recent days for not disclosing this information when it was first asked about it. This follows allegations from the Wall Street Journal on 2nd July that funds had channelled through 1MDB-linked entities into Najib's accounts in March 2013.
