"If I wanted to steal, it wouldn't make sense that I would place that money in accounts in Malaysia" says PM Najib.
It would make sense if it was such a large amount, cannot be entrusted to someone else, and the money needed to be distributed easily, like just before a GE.
It would also make sense if he was careless because of his immense power as PM and Finance Minister, and was under the impression he was above the law.
According to Zaid Ibrahim:
'Corruption and abuse of power are unacceptable under any circumstances and using public funds for political use and for securing one’s leadership in a political party are criminal acts that must be punished. But Najib’s UMNO and Cabinet colleagues should not pretend they don’t know about how 1MDB money helped them to win in the last General Election. Why do you think Najib had frequent closed-door briefings with UMNO leaders on 1MDB?
They cannot feign surprise that Najib had so much cash, not when they gleefully accept his largesse from time to time without asking any questions. They have kissed his hands and failed to express any unhappiness with his generosity. There were no cries about wanting to find out where this money came from. But suddenly, they want him removed because he was “caught”— not for any other reason.'
