Witness: Najib ordered 1MDB audit amendment to protect himself
- 2 years ago
An MACC officer testified that former premier Najib Abdul Razak sought an amendment to the 1MDB audit report in 2016 in order to shield himself from legal consequences.
Hanif Lami told the Kuala Lumpur High Court this morning that this was his conclusion on the reason the accused used his then position as prime minister to order the amendment before the report could be tabled to the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) in 2016.
The 16th prosecution witness was testifying in the 1MDB audit report case against Najib, who is also former finance minister, and the Malaysian sovereign wealth fund’s former CEO Arul Kanda Kandasamy.
