Mr Najib has been under investigation over the past few weeks for alleged corruption.

He is said to have misappropriated funds from 1MDB, a state investment arm he set up in 2010.

Unhappiness with the scandal and rising costs of living are believed to have been major factors for Mr Najib’s electoral loss in May.

His successor Dr Mahathir Mohamad has vowed to get to the bottom of the 1MDB scandal.
