Social media users have flooded Twitter and Facebook with the #DearNajib hashtag after the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) declared that the RM2.6 billion stashed in Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's personal accounts were donations.
A majority of the posts were critical of Najib, despite a warning from Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi that such comments would be punished.
Many demanded to know where the RM2.6 billion donation came from, while others mocked the MACC statement by asking Najib for donations.
These are some of the postings that were put online:
@1Obefiend - #DearNajib your scriptwriters are just as talented as Stephanie Meyers (author of Twilight series).
