The former prime minister says the names of the five directors were suggested to him and that they had the experience for the job. FMTNews NajibRazak SRC

Attorney-General Tommy Thomas questioned Najib Razak on his handwritten note in a letter to KWAP asking for a RM3.95 billion loan.

“I saw that they had experience in the relevant fields. For example, I knew Ismee professionally as the Tabung Haji CEO, Suboh was the secretary-general in the natural resources ministry. I also heard that Che Abdullah had experience under TH Plantations,” he said when questioned by Attorney-General Tommy Thomas as to whether the five men were chosen because they had never “disobeyed” him.

Najib said he had written the note on the letter, saying “bersetuju dengan cadangan” , but it did not mean that it was an instruction to the KWAP investment panel to approve it. “Under the law, the decision on approving loans comes under the panel. The finance minister cannot approve the loan.
