KUALA LUMPUR, May 18 — Tan Sri Mohd Bakke Salleh today said that there was no record or mention of Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s crucial phone call on a US$1 billion deal in a 1Malaysia Development Berhad board meeting minutes in 2009 and the Public Accounts Committee’s inquiry in 2016, as the 1MDB directors had agreed to keep the then prime minister’s name out of the public domain.
The 1MDB board of directors were first notified in a September 18, 2009 board meeting about the proposed joint venture with purported Saudi firm PetroSaudi International which would require 1MDB to put in US$1 billion, and had requested 1MDB management to do the necessary due diligence and to provide updates at the next board meeting on September 26, 2009.
Today, Najib’s lead defence lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah asked why the 1MDB board did not mention this phone call by Najib in the minutes of the 1MDB board meeting on September 26, 2009. Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak arrives at the Kuala Lumpur High Court April 12, 2022. — Picture by Hari AnggaraAs for records of the February 11, 2016 proceedings for PAC’s inquiry into 1MDB, it showed that Bakke had testified to the PAC that Low was invited by the 1MDB management to attend the September 26, 2009 board meeting.
“Again it goes back to what was agreed earlier by board members that we should not allude or mention anything on PM, especially the phone call, so that was the understanding and agreement among board members,” Bakke said.Bakke also agreed with Shafee’s suggestion that he would have mentioned the phone call if it was necessary as he would not hide anything.

Tak salah kan?😂
They covered up for NajibRazak's tel call even though he did not ask for a cover up? Why? What's the rationale - that was the rationale! What kind of a full assed fuctard wit answer is that from an ex-1MDB CEO/Director?
