KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 2 — A Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission officer today confirmed that his investigations on alleged tampering of the National Audit Department’s 2016 audit report on 1Malaysia Development Berhad was based on former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s alleged instructions to former auditor-general Tan Sri Ambrin Buang.
Haniff agreed that this meant that the basis of his investigation was based on his understanding that Ambrin had been instructed to make changes to the 1MDB audit report, and agreed this was why he carried out investigations. Sivananthan: The basis of your investigation is Tan Sri Ambrin is auditor-general but he was ordered ‘Tan Sri Ambrin, you make amendments 1, 2, 3,4’, this is your understanding. Now I say, Tan Sri Ambrin had testified in court, saying ‘no, I made amendments on my own discretion. If I want, I do, if I don’t want, I don’t do, this is his testimony in court.
Haniff agreed with Shafee’s suggestion that exit conferences need not necessarily end in just one day and that complicated matters could be discussed over a few days before the exit conference is concluded. The February 24, 2016 meeting was chaired by Ali and was attended by Arul Kanda and government officials including Najib’s then principal private secretary Tan Sri Shukry Mohd Salleh, Finance Ministry officials and a representative from the Attorney-General’s Chambers.
