‘RM80k spent on cancer supplements’

KUALA LUMPUR: Supplements and vitamins amounting to RM80,000 was spent by Datuk Seri Najib Razak in 2013 for cancer prevention, specifically leukaemia, from the donation money he allegedly received from Saudi royalty, the High Court has been told.

The assistant director of the Anti-Money Laundering Criminal Investigation Division, Asst Comm Foo Wei Min, confirmed this when questioned by Najib’s lead counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah on the RM80,000 payout from Najib’s AmIslamic personal account ending with 694 to an entity known as Vital Spire Sdn Bhd, which the former premier said was for the blood cancer treatment recommended by a doctor.
