A video of former Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin has been leaked, this time of him telling guests at his home that Prime Minister Najib Razak had admitted to having "a lot" of money transferred into his private bank accounts
There are 4 quotes from Muhyiddin that standout from the videoclip. These will help you get the gist of things:
1. "He did not mention siapa nama dia, from somewhere in the Middle East."
At 0.09 second Muhyiddin is heard saying, "I asked him (Najib) from whom (did the money come from)? He did not mention siapa nama dia (he did not give names) from somewhere in the Middle East.
2. "Berapa banyak? Lepas tu dia ..(inaudible)… susah nak kiralah. Dia kata 'a lot', 'a lot'."
Then Muhyiddin went on to ask from the amount of money that was transferred and apparently Najib replied it was quite a big sum and would be difficult to place an exact number.
3. "Kenapa masuk account Najib Razak?"
At 0.30 second of the clip, the ex-DPM apparently questioned why was the money even transferred into the Prime Minister's personal account.
4. "He admitted."
Yes, according to the video, it was alleged that the Prime Minister admitted to the claims regarding the transfer of US$700 million (RM2.6 billion) into her personal account.
The question that has been playing in almost everyone's mind is the authenticity of the video. Tan Sri Abdul Kadir Sheikh Fadzir who was present at the meeting confirmed the conversation took place but declined to comment further.
If it was genuine, then was the information legitimate? Deputy Minister of International Trade and Industry Ahmad Maslan last night sought to dispute Muhyiddin Yassin's allegation about money being transferred into Prime Minister Najib Razak's personal account with a curiously ambiguous denial

PAS Pokok Sena MP Mahfuz Omar says the leaked video was proof the Prime Minister has lost his integrity and urged for fresh elections soon
So what does Najib have to say?
**Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak brushed aside a question on the controversial video** in which former deputy prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin claimed the premier admitted to transferring RM2.6 billion into his account when asked.
