KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): There was an explosive testimony from Datuk Amhari Efendi Nazaruddin, who was the former special officer to Datuk Seri Najib Razak, over the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) scandal.

Following are the highlights of testimonies from Amhari Efendi, 43, at the trial before Judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah from Sept 3-5.

Amhari Efendi, who was then with the Economics Division at the Prime Minister's Office, says Jho Low also orchestrated investment dealings, inter-government or government-to-government negotiations, political as well as fund manoeuvres for the former prime minister. “To my knowledge, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor was also very close to Jho Low as I noticed that he frequently received calls from Datin Seri Rosmah, but I never asked about the details of their conversations, ” he says, adding that it was Riza Aziz who introduced Jho Low to Rosmah.

Amhari Efendi says Jho Low had prepared five “damage control” letters after the 1MDB scandal blew up, to show proof that 1MDB and PetroSaudi had not acted out of line in their joint venture.On the opening of foreign account banks, Amhari Efendi testifies that “Jho Low also told us to be assured, not to worry, and to trust him, telling us that ‘boss will take care’.”

He says following that, on Nov 1 and 2,2016, Najib went on an official visit to China with a goal to pursue Malaysia-China joint-venture projects with a number of companies.
