Ex-PM Najib mourns death of pet cat Kiky
KUALA LUMPUR: Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak is mourning the loss of his cat, Kiky. "Kiky is no longer with us, guys," Najib wrote on Facebook, accompanied by several photos showing him cradling and playing with the white-and-orange feline. The post has garnered more than 5,000 likes and reactions on the social media site, including from Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi, with many offering their condolences. "Thank You Allah for arranging for Kiky to be part of my life all this while. She was so sweet and affectionate. "Every single day, she would wait by the door for me to come home from work. Rest now, Kiky," Najib added. Kiky joined Najib's household in 2010 when he was still serving as prime minister and was one of four cats, the others being Leo, Tiger and Simba. Since then, Kiky has captured the attention of many online as the cat appeared in many of the former prime minister's social media posts. Najib is currently serving a six-year prison sentence after being convicted of misappropriating RM42 million from SRC International Sdn Bhd. The High Court had sentenced him to 12 years in prison with a fine of RM210 million, a verdict that was subsequently upheld by the Court of Appeal and the Federal Court. However, his prison sentence was halved to six years and his fine reduced to RM50 million following his petition for a royal pardon in February last year.
