LHDN should cancel RM1.7bil suit against Najib, says Puad


PETALING JAYA: The Inland Revenue Board (LHDN) should stop its suit demanding more than RM1.7bil in tax arrears from former premier Datuk Seri Najib Razak, says Umno supreme council member Datuk Mohd Puad Zarkashi.

Puad said that after a witness told the High Court on Thursday (Oct 12) that Najib returned more than RM2bil to Tanore Finance Corporation in Singapore, it was clear that the former premier did not use any of the funds for personal purposes.
