Former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak denies forging signatures on key 1MDB documents, accusing prosecution witnesses of distorting the truth and raising questions about the authenticity of evidence in his corruption trial.
KUALA LUMPUR – Former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has alleged that his signature was forged on key 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) documents, raising serious questions about the authenticity of evidence presented in his corruption trial.
Testifying before the High Court, Najib denied signing the minutes of a 1MDB meeting, which he was accused of attending. His claim was made in response to a query by his lead counsel, Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, regarding the disputed document.
“No, it’s not my signature,” Najib stated firmly. “I can confidently say it is not mine because I did not attend this meeting with him (Shahrol).”
Tandatangan Dipalsukan, Najib Mangsa Konspirasi – TS Shafee Abdullah Kuala Lumpur, 4 Disember 2024 – Peguambela kepada bekas Perdana Menteri Dato’ Sri Najib Razak, Tan Sri Shafee Abdullah, beritahu pada Wartawan AATV mengenai dakwaan pemalsuan dokumen oleh pihak pengurusan 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB). Dalam satu temubual yang disampaikan pada sesi perbicaraan hari ini, Shafee mendakwa terdapat bukti kukuh bahawa dokumen-dokumen penting telah dipalsukan melalui tandatangan dan tulisan yang diragui. Shafee Abdullah menjelaskan bahawa penemuan ini bukan sahaja mencabar kredibiliti pengurusan 1MDB pada masa itu, tetapi juga menimbulkan persoalan besar tentang integriti proses siasatan yang dijalankan terhadap Dato’ Sri Najib Razak. “Ini bukan sekadar tuduhan. Ia adalah fakta yang disokong dengan bukti forensik. Pemalsuan tandatangan dan tulisan tangan dalam beberapa dokumen ini adalah tindakan yang disengajakan untuk menutup sesuatu,” tegas Shafee. Menurut Shafee, pasukan pembelaan telah menyerahkan dokumen-dokumen yang diragui itu untuk analisis pakar forensik. Hasilnya menunjukkan terdapat penyelewengan yang ketara. “Kami mempunyai saksi dan analisis forensik yang menunjukkan dengan jelas bahawa tandatangan-tandatangan tertentu tidak sepadan dengan tandatangan asal. Ini bukan kesilapan biasa, tetapi satu usaha terancang untuk mengelirukan pihak berkuasa,” katanya lagi. Kenyataan tersebut membawa dimensi baharu dalam kes ini, yang telah menjadi salah satu kes mahkamah paling kontroversial di Malaysia. Ia memberi implikasi bahawa Dato’ Sri Najib Razak telah menjadi mangsa konspirasi yang lebih besar daripada yang dijangka. Peguam Dato’ Sri Najib turut menegaskan bahawa pemalsuan dokumen ini boleh menjejaskan keadilan perbicaraan yang sedang berlangsung. “Bagaimana seseorang boleh membela diri dengan adil jika bukti terhadapnya telah dimanipulasi? Keadaan ini menjelaskan mengapa kami terus memperjuangkan keadilan untuk Najib,” tambah Shafee. Kes ini, yang melibatkan salah guna dana bernilai berbilion ringgit dari 1MDB, telah menjadi tumpuan nasional dan antarabangsa. Pendedahan terbaru ini dijangka mencetuskan perdebatan hangat di kalangan pakar undang-undang, ahli politik, dan masyarakat umum. Tan Sri Shafee juga menyeru pihak berkuasa untuk menyiasat semula kes ini, khususnya berkaitan dakwaan pemalsuan dokumen tersebut. “Kami berharap badan siasatan bebas akan dibentuk untuk menilai kembali bukti dan memastikan keadilan ditegakkan tanpa sebarang campur tangan politik,” katanya. Dengan pendedahan ini, pihak pembelaan Dato’ Sri Najib Razak berharap rakyat Malaysia dapat menilai situasi ini dengan lebih objektif dan terbuka. “Keadilan bukan sahaja perlu dilaksanakan, tetapi ia mesti dilihat dilaksanakan. Jika ada penipuan atau manipulasi, ia mesti didedahkan sepenuhnya,” ujar Shafee mengakhiri kenyataannya. Pendedahan ini telah mencetuskan pelbagai reaksi daripada pelbagai pihak. Ada yang melihatnya sebagai bukti bahawa perbicaraan terhadap Najib Razak selama ini tidak adil, manakala yang lain menganggap ia sebagai cubaan untuk mengalihkan perhatian daripada isu sebenar. Kes ini terus menjadi tumpuan rakyat, dengan ramai yang menantikan perkembangan seterusnya. Adakah pendedahan ini mampu mengubah arah perbicaraan, atau ia hanya akan menambah lagi kontroversi yang sedia ada? #zalim#phzalim#justice4najibrazak#TeamNajibRazak#WeStandBYyou#setiaitumahal#pendakwaanpolitik#tahananpolitik#ipic#najibrazak#1mdb#mahkamah#src#keadilannajibrazak#BarisanNasional#UMNO#umnomalaysia#umnosebuahperjuangan#politik#beritaviral#trendingnewsmalaysia#politiksemasa
The meeting in question was cited by former 1MDB CEO Datuk Shahrol Azral Ibrahim Halmi, a key prosecution witness, who testified that Najib had endorsed a decision by the 1MDB Board of Directors (BOD) to proceed with the GDF Suez investment.
“Shahrol misled the board by falsely claiming that he had met with me and that I had agreed to the decision. This is completely untrue,” Najib added, addressing presiding judge Datuk Collin Lawrence Sequerah.
Rejecting Allegations of Influence
Shahrol also alleged that Najib, as then finance minister, had instructed 1MDB’s management to conduct due diligence and assess risks associated with the investment. Najib, however, dismissed these accusations, maintaining his stance when shown additional documents containing notations purportedly written by him.
“My handwriting is entirely different,” Najib said. “I always include a date and my signature whenever I make a notation. It is my standard practice. I believe the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) deliberately avoided confronting me with these documents during my statement because they knew I would disprove them.”
Najib Cites Quranic Teachings Against False Testimony
Najib also criticized former 1MDB director Tan Sri Ismee Ismail for claiming that he influenced the board’s decision to allocate RM1.5 billion to a joint venture account with PetroSaudi International.
According to Najib, Ismee testified that the BOD believed the decision to sell a 40% stake in the joint venture company, in exchange for an 8% annual profit over 11 years based on US$1.2 billion Murabaha Notes, was sound. Najib rejected the suggestion that he had influenced the decision.
“It is clear that Ismee and the BOD made their decision based on their own evaluation and judgment, not because of any purported influence on my part,” Najib said. “I am deeply disappointed by Ismee’s attempt to implicate me unfairly, especially when I have always regarded him as a man of integrity.”
Quoting the Quran, Najib reminded Ismee of the importance of truthfulness. “As Muslims, we are taught in Surah An-Nisa (4:135) to ‘speak the truth even if it is against yourself.’ I never expected such a distortion of the truth from someone like Ismee,” he said.
Serious Charges
Najib, 70, is currently facing four charges of abusing his position to secure RM2.3 billion in bribes from 1MDB funds, along with 21 charges of money laundering involving the same amount.
The trial, presided over by Judge Datuk Collin Lawrence Sequerah, is ongoing.
