PUTRAJAYA, Jan 16 — Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak denied receiving a text message from then 1MDB chairman Tan Sri Mohd Bakke Salleh in 2009, which allegedly warned of misconduct. Najib claimed it was unfair to blame him for Bakke's resignation, stating that the chairman should have addressed concerns with him directly. The controversy surrounding 1MDB continues to unfold, with many calling for greater transparency and accountability in financial governance, highlighting the need for effective anti-corruption measures and good governance practices. This case is a prime example of the importance of responsible leadership and financial management in preventing corruption and abuse of power.
