KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 27 — Former auditor-general Tan Sri Ambrin Buang told the High Court today that he gave the order for government auditor Nor Salwani Muhammad to save the only surviving copy of the final audit report on 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) after they were forced to make changes....

“Therefore the National Audit Department’s Audit Report on 1MDB that have already been printed can no longer be used as there are amendments, and I have already ordered that all 1MDB Audit Reports that had been printed to be destroyed except for one copy for Puan Nor Salwani’s safekeeping,” he said while testifying against former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and former 1MDB CEO Arul Kanda Kandasamy.

“Because I as the auditor-general, I’m already given certification. Under the OSA regulations, you must get certification to handle OSA documents. I got the certificate to handle OSA so I can handle and keep for my own work, for internal use,” he said when asked by deputy public prosecutor Rozaliana Zakaria if there was any reason for Nor Salwani to keep a copy of the 1MDB audit report.

Ambrin said the NAD had already decided to present this final report on 1MDB’s audit to Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee on February 24, 2016, and that this report would have been given to the PAC if no meetings were held to discuss removal of contents from the report. As a result of the February 24, 2016 meeting which Ali last week said was held at Najib’s request, the NAD led by Ambrin which had resisted the demands for changes was eventually forced to agree to remove four main items from the report.
