The former chief executive officer of the state-owned sovereign wealth fund 1MDB today described that"1MDB was Najib Abdul Razak, Najib was 1MDB"., the ninth prosecution witness told the Kuala Lumpur High Court today that there was no difference in his mind between the entity and the former prime minister.
"Whatever Najib wanted doing, I needed to get it done. At that time, I was trying to reconcile what the 1MDB board wanted and 1MDB board of advisors chairperson Najib wanted”, he said. The witness said this when cross-examined by lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah on the 25th day of the former premier's 1MDB trial."It was important to set the context on why the decision on the PSI deal was done quickly and that I bulldozed everything through. I believed this was what Najib wanted," he said.
The court also heard that the fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho, or Jho Low, was also the advisor for PSI when the two companies were going into a joint-venture in September 2009. "Jho Low himself informed me about the matter. I did not see that as a conflict of interest albeit Jho Low was also advising 1MDB at the same time," he said.Shahrol:
