IN a post on the X platform, former premier Datuk Seri Najib Razak wrote that he is someone who knows about ‘oil’ and he should be consulted. The post, as with many of his posts from jail is getting attention, with many users attacking him.
At the beginning of this month, the Kuala Lumpur High Court dismissed Najib’s application to commence judicial review proceedings against the government to compel the production of a purported “supplementary decree” by the former Yang di-Pertuan Agong, allowing him to serve the remainder of his jail term under house arrest.
On that day, he posted on X that it was a sad day. But since then, Najib seems to have recovered from the failure to get house arrest.
In the X post this time, Najib wrote: “Najib tahu lah. Dia orang minyak, dulu kerja Petronas.”

Orang minyak is also used for thieves who apparently oil their bodies to go on a rampage while bare-naked.
The reference to ‘orang minyak’ got an X user to say ‘orang minyak’ who stole RM2.6 bil, in a reminder of the famous episode of the money flow into Najib’s bank account amounting to that figure in 2016.

Another user posted a picture showing Najib leaving a courtroom with the caption: “Dalam keterangan mahkamah, 46 kali Najib kata ‘tak tahu*” or Najib said 46 times in court that he ‘does not know’. Again, the response is about Najib saying ‘he knows’.
The post also came with a comment saying, “Do you know? Why is it that when you go to court, you don’t know everything?” – July 13, 2024
