The Star

A Malaysian woman has filed a police report denying speculation – which has been going viral online – that she has married former prime minister Najib Razak.
The woman, who is in her 50s, lodged the report after pictures of her went viral on social media and messaging apps, claiming she is Najib’s “second wife”.
Wangsa Maju police spokesman Rajab Ahad Ismail confirmed they had received a report from the woman, adding that they would refer the matter to the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission (MCMC).
“Yes, we have received the report and have opened investigations. The MCMC has also been notified about the case,” he said.
In the report cited by The Star, the woman, identified as Noorhaiza Abdullah, denied being married to Najib.
She claimed that a Facebook page had uploaded a picture of her with Najib, alluding that they had married.
She claimed another picture of her was also going viral, with the caption “congratulating” them of their supposed marriage.
Noorhaiza said she lodged the report for fear of her own safety while urging the police to take action against the Facebook user.
Najib served as Malaysia’s prime minister from 2009-18. His final years in office were plagued by corruption allegations stemming from his involvement in the vast 1MDB scandal.
Najib and his wife Rosmah Mansor were charged soon after Najib left office. Police later raided their homes, seizing about US$275 million worth of goods – including 284 boxes of designer handbags, 2,200 rings, 1,400 necklaces, 14 tiaras, 423 watches, and 234 pairs of designer sunglasses.
The confiscations earned Rosmah comparisons with former Philippine first lady Imelda Marcos, and underlined the former government’s detachment from grass roots issues, in stark contrast to the economic woes and discontent faced by ordinary Malaysians.
Rumours of Rosmah’s profligate spending and supposed control over Najib have consistently followed the former first lady, whose public image took a further beating after anti-corruption authorities released phone recordings in which she was heard to be “scolding” him.
