Ousted Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak and his wife Rosmah Mansor have been blacklisted from leaving the country, immigration authorities said on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The statement by Malaysian Immigration Department was issued moments after the scandal-plagued former prime minister said in a Facebook post that he and his family were taking a holiday overseas starting from Saturday and would return next week.<\/p>\n
Najib on his Twitter account said he would respect the government ban on him leaving the country.<\/p>\n
The ousted leader faces being investigated by the incoming government over a corruption scandal at Malaysia’s state-owned investment fund, 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), from which officials are alleged to have stolen more than $4.5bn.<\/p>\n
Some of that money is alleged to have ended up in Najib’s personal bank account.<\/p>\n
Najib has denied any wrongdoing and said the money was a donation from the Saudi royal family, which he had since returned.<\/p>\n
