May 12 (UPI) -- Less than two days after the swearing-in of his successor, former Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak tried to leave the country Saturday, apparently for Indonesia.
Najib, 64, said he was taking a short trip to spend time with family, but it didn't matter: Malaysia's government prevented him and his wife Rosmah Mansor from leaving the country. The government's immigration department said they were blacklisted from leaving Malaysia, the Straits Times reported.
