SAUDI Arabia said a large donation to Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak was "genuine", providing some clarity on the source of the funds amid reports the money came via a Malaysian state investment company.
Saudi authorities were aware of the donation and it came without strings, Malaysia's official news agency Bernama reported, citing Saudi Foreign Minister Adel Al-Jubeir. He was speaking to reporters in Istanbul on Thursday after meeting with Mr Najib during the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation summit.
