KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Razak and his family were given a free ride on the Putrajaya MRT line on Wednesday (June 15), a day before its official launch because he asked for it on Twitter, says Datuk Mohd Zarif Hashim.

“As you know, he actually tweeted that he loved to be on the train. We replied to the tweet,” said the MRT Corp CEO during a joint press conference held after the launch of the first phase of the Putrajaya MRT line at the Sri Damansara station on Thursday (June 16).
