KUALA LUMPUR: Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak is not bankrupt despite a court ruling dismissing his application for a stay on a summary judgment that requires him to pay RM1.69bil in tax arrears to the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN).

Lawyer Mohamed Haniff Khatri Abdulla said there was a public misconception that Najib was a bankrupt because of the bankruptcy notice that was issued to him on Feb 4.
