Jamil Khir Baharom, who was previously in charge of religious affairs in the Prime Minister’s Department, said this when questioned by ad hoc prosecutor V Sithambaram on an unofficial meeting between King Abdullah and Najib, himself and two others on Jan 11, 2010. “King Abdullah praised us for our job in administrating a multicultural country and wanted Datuk Seri to maintain Malaysia as a moderate Islamic country,” he said.
