"After much reflection over the course of 26 months in prison, and following significant recent developments relating to 1MDB, I have decided to make the following statement. It pains me to know that the 1MDB debacle happened under my watch as the minister of finance and PM. I would like to apologise unequivocally to Malaysians," the statement read.
Imprisoned former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has apologised and expressed regret that the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) scandal happened under his watch.
His son, Pahang executive council member Datuk Mohamad Nizar Mohamad Najib, read out a statement from his father saying that it pained Najib to know that the multibillion-dollar scandal happened under his watch.
