RM2.6bil meant to fund moderate Muslim leaders


PETALING JAYA: The RM2.6bil political donation made to Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak was part of a Saudi initiative to fund moderate Muslim leaders in their fight against extremism, according to a Britain-based journalist.

Con Coughlin, a columnist for The Telegraph, said findings from the Attorney-General’s recently-concluded investigation on the monies deposited into the Prime Minister’s accounts may have uncovered evidence of a secret war being waged by Saudi Arabia against extremism.
