LANGKAWI: Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor are not trying to flee the country through Langkawi, said the Kedah police chief.
"There is nothing to show that they are running away. Why should they run? Najib has not been found guilty and he has not been charged with anything," said Commissioner Datuk Zainal Abidin Kasim on Monday (June 18).
Najib and his family arrived at the Langkawi airport on Saturday (June 16) evening with 30 pieces of luggage and were received by former Langkawi MP Datuk Nawawi Ahmad, among others.
According to Comm Zainal, Najib has been spending his time playing golf on the island.
He urged Malaysians to stop speculating, and said that Najib also came to Kedah to meet former mentri besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Bashah Md Hanipah.
Ahmad Bashah is also the state Umno Liaison Committee chairman.
Najib and Rosmah were questioned by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission over probe into SRC International Sdn Bhd, a former subsidiary of 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).
Both were barred from leaving the country.
