The government jet Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak had used to‎ travel to Hawaii, but was subsequently left behind when he returned to Malaysia, had not been used for personal purposes, the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) said.
In a statement to veteran journalist Datuk A. Kadir Jasin, the ‎PMO said Najib had not been able to to use the official jet to return to Malaysia on December 27 as it had "technical issues".
"The prime minister came back on a commercial flight via Hong Kong where he was picked up (by) the Royal Malaysian Air Force and headed straight to Kota Baru," ‎the PMO told Kadir, who published the statement on the comment section of his blog today.
"The aircraft had not stayed behind for use (sic) by the PM's family members. Also, they are not in Indianapolis.‎"
However, flight tracking website FlightRadar24 said that the official jet, registered as 9M-NAA, landed in Indianapolis from Los Angeles at 6.52 Malaysian time on December 26.
The plane landed at the Los Angeles Airport at 1.40pm Malaysian time from Honolulu, Hawaii, where Najib was on holiday.
Najib was to use the government airplane, an Airbus A319, to return to Malaysia two weeks ago, but instead flew back on a Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) transport plane.
He cut short his holiday following criticism over his absence when massive floods hit several states in Malaysia.
Many Malaysians had criticised Najib after photographs of him playing golf with US President Barack Obama in Hawaii went viral.
However, his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor was not with him upon his return to Malaysia, leaving Twitter abuzz over both her whereabouts and of the plane.
The aircraft had arrived in Dubai from London at 12.16am on Saturday before departing again at 1.53am, according to Flightradar24.com. It then landed in Bangkok, Thailand.
Bernama reported on Saturday that Najib met Thailand’s General Prayuth Chan-O-cha in Bangkok to thank the Thai prime minister for the country’s contribution during the recent floods.
Quoting Najib’s Facebook account, the report said both leaders exchanged perspectives on restoration and the Thai flood experience.
