Former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak said he is prepared to make a sumpah laknat to deny his alleged involvement in the 1MDB scandal as well but after the case in court is over.

His statement comes ahead of a similar oath after Friday prayers today, where Najib would deny the allegations contained in the convicted murderer Azilah Hadri’s statutory declaration.

“Am I prepared to swear a sumpah laknat on the 1MDB case too?

“Yes, but my lawyer said I have already made an oath in this case. That’s why I am still testifying under oath in court while being cross-examined (by the prosecution) and re-examined, unlike a certain future prime minister."

“After the case is finished, I would like to invite (DAP veteran leader Lim Kit Siang) to the mosque where I would swear a sumpah laknat on 1MDB,” he said.
