PETALING JAYA: Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak insists that a 22-carat pink diamond pendant was a gift from a United Arab Emirates prince, and he is unaware of its whereabouts.

Speaking to Al Jazeera's 101 East in an exclusive interview on Friday (Oct 26), Najib said the prince was Sheikh Mansour, the brother of Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, who is also the chairman of International Petroleum Investment Company (Ipic), who intended to present it to his wife.
