: Former 1Malaysia Development Berhad chairman Tan Sri Mohd Bakke Salleh told the High Court here today that he did not meet Datuk Seri Najib Razak to inform him about his resignation as he suspected that the former prime minister was involved in alleged irregular 1MDB monetary transactions.
Mohd Bakke: I didn’t because I had a feeling and suspicion that the prime minister was in the loop and involved in the scheme of things with PetroSaudi International Ltd . The same feelings were shared by board members. One that confirmed our suspicion, which made us feel disgusted, was the way the US$1 billion was remitted.
Previously, the witness told the court that Najib had in September 2009 told the 1MDB board of directors to approve the JV that would eventually see the company pump in US$1 billion and wanted it to be signed in four days. Mohd Bakke: I understand, but why the need to work in such a hurried fashion? That was the discomfort of me and the board.
Muhammad Shafee: Aren’t you barking at the wrong tree? Why blame the PM when management were directly under you? Why would he micromanage? He could not possibly micromanage.
