Former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak has yet to be declared bankrupt over his failure to pay RM1.69 billion in additional income tax arrears to the Inland Revenue Board (IRB), according to his counsel.
Lawyer Wee Yeong Kang told reporters that High Court deputy registrar Ida Rahayu Sharif informed the parties concerned that the act of bankruptcy against Najib has not yet occurred even though revenue counsel Athari Faris Ammerry Hussein, who acted for IRB, asked for the act of bankruptcy to be recorded by the court immediately. We objected to the IRB application (for the act of bankruptcy to be recorded) due to incorrectness and misguidance of rules that govern.

COMMENT | It took Najib Abdul Razak a long time to accept his defeat on May 9, 2018. On Malaysia’s longest night, the Election Commission’s snail-paced announcements were slow and painful, and Umno’s fallen soldiers were invisible in the dark.
When Najib had finally emerged in the morning, he gave a non-committal concession speech, treading on the insignificant technicality of “no party had won a simple majority”. He then retreated quickly back into the dark.
“What was I supposed to do?” he now
says. “I was going down in history as the first Malaysian leader to leave with a change of government. After 60 years, BN was defeated and my name was going to be forever etched in history.”
