Career

Razak, who had a strong passion for politics from an early age, began his political journey and became the youngest Deputy Minister at the age of 25.

Meanwhile, a seasoned politician, Najib has held several important cabinet positions in his illustrious career, including Minister of Defense, Education and Finance.

Najib has won significant popular support thanks to his dedication to economic reform and prioritizing infrastructure development.

In 2009, Najib assumed the role of Prime Minister, making grand promises to boost economic prosperity and ensure political stability in the country.

To achieve these goals, he undertook a number of initiatives, one of which was the establishment of the sovereign wealth fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).

Unfortunately, the fund soon became the center of a massive corruption scandal that rocked the country, with allegations that billions of dollars were improperly diverted from the fund.

As a result, Najib faces serious charges of his alleged involvement in financial mismanagement and abuse of power.
