PUTRAJAYA, Nov 8 — Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak was summoned to the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters here this morning for questioning again, this time over alleged abuse of funds in a Sarawak solar energy project.

“Not related to 1MDB, [it is] related to the solar project in Sarawak,” an MACC source told Malay Mail when contacted, without elaborating.

It is understood that Najib arrived at the MACC office at around 9.40am today through the rear entrance, after making an appearance at the Kuala Lumpur courthouse for his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor’s case management on her multiple money-laundering charges.

Last month, the MACC vowed to continue its investigations into alleged abuse of funds concerning the Sarawak solar energy project for schools.

The commission has already summoned former education minister Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid to its headquarters for questioning.

MACC’s deputy chief commissioner (operations) Datuk Seri Azam Baki confirmed Najib was summoned to have his statements taken for “several cases. He too did not elaborate.

Najib was closeted within the MACC headquarters for about four hours.

The Pekan MP, believed inside a Proton Perdana with the TN50 number plate, was spotted leaving the compound at 1.55pm, in a convoy with a police patrol car and a black Toyota Camry bearing the PAQ 1 usually seen ferrying his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor.

Rosmah’s lawyers said she was not called to be present at the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya this morning.

Minutes later, Najib took to Twitter confirming he was called for investigations, but said it had nothing to do with the Sarawak solar scandal.

“Today I was called by MACC to help in investigations but not related to the solar case,” he tweeted.

Hari ini saya dipanggil SPRM bagi membantu siasatan tetapi bukan berkaitan kes solar. — Mohd Najib Tun Razak (@NajibRazak) November 8, 2018
