KUALA LUMPUR: The 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) board of directors (BOD) would not disregard suggestions by fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho - better known as Jho Low - due to his close relationship with Datuk Seri Najib Razak, the High Court here heard.

Former 1MDB director Tan Sri Ismee Ismail, 57, said this in his 112-page witness statement during the RM2.28bil 1MDB trial involving Najib here on Wednesday .

"He only has an official position in TIA but not in 1MDB. There were no proposals to appoint Low in 1MDB," the witness said. "He was working behind the scenes because the BOD and myself would receive emails frequently from him from the email address dealrainman1@gmail.com," Ismee added. The witness however said he did not know what Low's capacity was when the latter sent the emails nor Low's level of involvement in the sovereign wealth fund.
