Former AG appointed into Tabung Haji board the day he absolved Najib of any wrongdoing

Najib was questioned about the decision and also asked if he had appointed Apandi into the Tabung Haji board the same day the latter absolved him of all charges.

Najib disagreed with the suggestion and rebutted the Deputy Public Prosecutor's argument that Apandi's appointment into the Tabung Haji board was done in bad faith. Asked if he planned to call Apandi as one of the defence witness, Najib said his lawyers were still considering the matter. He insisted that he would never have condoned it if he knew money from the company was being channeled to his account.

The 66-year-old however maintained that he never knew it was from SRC International and always thought it was leftover money from the Arab donation he received. Najib nevertheless agreed that he relied on Jho Low to deal with the Saudi Royals as the Penang-born businessman was a conduit between both parties.Sithambaram: What do you mean he was nominated...Did the King call both of you into a room and introduced Jho Low as his nominee?Sithambaram then suggested that Najib had known all along that the money which he received never came from the Arabs.
