KUALA LUMPUR - Terengganu Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin had his reservations about fugitive financier Low Taek Jho and once described him as an unsavoury character.
This was at a time when 1MDB was still known as the Terengganu Investment Authority and Sultan Mizan was the Yang di-Pertuan Agong. Former Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak's lead counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah made this revelation on the 10th day of the 1Malaysia Development Bhd trial.
He questioned Najib's former special officer Datuk Amhari Efendi Nazaruddin whether he knew that Low's ultimate ambition was going after oil and gas in Terengganu. Shafee: Wasn't this one of the reasons that the state of Terengganu, particularly the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, was unhappy with Jho Low? They discovered later that he was manipulating TIA for that.Shafee: You knew, almost for certain. I will put it clearly so members of the press don't report it wrongly. You knew the Sultan described Jho Low as an unsavoury character.
