5:25 pm
najib thank you for joining what i want to east. to begin with what was your reaction the night of the election and why do you think the malaysian people decided after almost six decades they wanted to change basically will last for two main reasons. one we lost because of the false promises made by the opposition promises. which they themselves can see today they have considered very openly that they made the promises because they thought they were not going to read and of course the other one is to be lost the propaganda war. you know the vilification of me as a problem is that then as well as the party. it was a perfect storm you know that led to the end of but as i mentioned in the country but let's go to some of those propaganda claims that were made that you say were
5:26 pm
propaganda kinds i mean what do you say to those who accuse your government of having been a quick talk prosy of having been involved in one of the biggest heists the world have as if it's saying you know the alleged misappropriation of four point five billion dollars from the country's sovereign wealth fund one m d b well first of all. it's not true. that. in our government was a kleptocrat government because. the main point was that i returned more than six hundred twenty million dollars back you know they kept on accusing me of receiving huge sums of money but. they forgot to mention that the bulk of the money was returned four months after the general direction but we still don't see just going to your personal accounts that money that flowed into your account in
5:27 pm
twenty thirty. that kind directly from an account in singapore linked to. a very close business associate of joe how do you explain that ok there were two main sources that came to my colleague. one was a direct contribution from the ministry of finance of saudi arabia. that has been proven in terms of wire clips going to the united states department of justice report that money originated in an account controlled by joe lhota and then it went into the saudi account and then it will go to your i don't know that rule one was established it came from the ministry of finance saudi that was also confirmed by the do it your report if you put yourself in my position where king abdullah.
5:28 pm
committed to support me i assume that everything was. going to be done in a proper way i would not have any knowledge of who owns the farm but you were the prime minister of this country you were the minister for finance you were also the chairman of the one m.t.b. advisory committee shouldn't you have wanted to know where exactly that money was coming from sure i wanted to know but after receiving the commitment from king of the law and subsequent us that was sent to me our assume everything would be fine just on that matter you have presented a letter from the saudi prince gifting you the money. but there are serious questions about the authenticity of that letter. how do you account for the fact that the letter from that saudi prince uses exactly the same phrases as a letter written by a very close malaysian business associate of jolo gifting him millions of dollars
5:29 pm
worth of aat for example the saudi prince writes the gift should not in any event be construed as an act of corruption i personally do not encourage such practices in any manner whatsoever and then you've got joe lowe's associate business associate writing to him. all the artwork gifted to you should not in any event be construed as an act of corruption i personally do not encourage such practices in any manner whatsoever i mean what do you say to people who say that these that later from the saudi prince was fabricated in fact reason to cover up the diversion of. into jolo and his associates accounts and in fact into your own account well i want to say it is the only reason why i accepted because shoreham you know from king of the law that he would support me and the subsequent
5:30 pm
initial donations did come follow the ministry of finance of saudi and i assume that subsequent donations would also come from sources connected to the saudi i'm not privy to letters written by giordano in instances as you mention. but that the authorities examine it investigate if george is responsible or i don't want to sponsible for siphoning of fun. then. they must be held accountable the question is when i received the funds was i aware of the source of money if the central bank were to signal to me there was something of concern but maybe not you would i would die knowing we have money if i get a check from al jazeera into my bank account i know it comes from al-jazeera i know the account it comes from it's got an account number on it it's not
5:31 pm
a secret this kind from a singapore account controlled by joe lowe's close business associate a malaysian man and the united states justice department has traced that money back to one m.t.p. money but that was subsequent at that particular time when i received the money i assume it was a general. donation i do not have any knowledge beyond that at least. your you've recently been banned from leaving the country you've been charged with thirty eight counts of money laundering bribery and abuse of power but when you were prime minister and in an investigation cleared you of any wrongdoing why do you think you were cleared then and you are now facing a long list of serious charges you must realize that this current government you know when they were running for office. they had already. made this
5:32 pm
political narrative. that they were going to take action against me so in that sense they have to fulfill you know whatever political promises they made leveling charges is one thing but whether the evidence a deuce later on was support the charges that's another matter so tell me what was your relationship with john. my relationship with george bush was on the basis that he was going to promote you know investment from you know the middle east that would help us ensure that we can achieve a good strategic relationship with the key countries and he was very close to the royal families particularly in us as well as in saudi so i saw him as creating value. you know that could help us that was the main reason but there are six investigations going on around the world into corruption related to one named
5:33 pm
what what does that tell you about what went on yeah there were there were things that were wrong in what may be but don't stop at this jolo but get others involved as well because they are international figures who are probably allegedly involved. but they must also you know be investigated they must also be question who benefits it will really benefit from the whole one. issue this is what i would like to know too well some people would say that you benefited for example that money that the six hundred twenty million dollars that you returned. back into the account of juggalos close business associate in singapore twenty seven million dollars worth of that was was used to purchase a twenty two carrots.
