Jamil Khir Baharom, who was previously in charge of religious affairs in the Prime Minister’s Department, said this when questioned by ad hoc prosecutor V Sithambaram on an unofficial meeting between King Abdullah and Najib, himself and two others on Jan 11, 2010. “King Abdullah praised us for our job in administrating a multicultural country and wanted Datuk Seri to maintain Malaysia as a moderate Islamic country,” he said.

“His Majesty was worried that channelling the funds into other organisations or entities may complicate the way on how the funds would be spent,” he said.
