“My wife and kids have been put under pressure. They even raided my children’s homes.

“They even seized baby shoes belonging to my grandchild as well as my children’s wedding gifts,” he told Umno members in Pekan.

Yesterday, Najib had said he was disappointed with the indiscriminate manner his children’s personal belongings had been seized.

Three apartments at Pavilion Residences, two of which belong to his children, Norashman (Ashman) and Nooryana Najwa (known as Gina), were recently searched, as were Najib’s former office at the Prime Minister’s Department, the official residence of the prime minister and his residence in Taman Duta.

Najib also addressed those who accused him of wanting to declare an emergency to hold on to power.

“As someone who holds on to the principles of democracy, I accepted (the election results). I gave up my powers in a good way.

“But I am not treated well,” he said.

Najib claimed his family had been under pressure from certain parties and his children were not spared.

“What has 1MDB got to do with wedding gifts?

“If they want to take items, they must have proof. There must be a prima facie case against me that the items were illegally obtained,” he said.

He added his daughter’s wedding gifts should not surprise anyone as she had married someone from Kazakhstan who was of a high standing.

“Doesn’t my daughter deserve wedding gifts? She is married to someone who can afford it in Kazakhstan. Not someone who receives BR1M,” he said.

“What is wrong if my daughter’s father-in-law wants to give something? What has Kazakhstan got to do with 1MDB? Nothing.”

He said the folks in Pekan, where he is MP, were aware that he is not a thief.
