Former 1MDB CEO says the financier told him there were 'envious feelings' within Umno over his influence on Najib Razak. FMTNews

Fugitive financier Low Taek Jho did not want his involvement in 1MDB to threaten Najib Razak’s position, the High Court was told today.

“It made sense to me that Low said his involvement in 1MDB needed to be low key so that it would not threatened Datuk Seri’s position. Shahrol said Low informed him that it would be bad for the perception against Najib if the Penang businessman was officially appointed to 1MDB.The former CEO said he disagreed. “Very few people knew Low was assisting Datuk Seri between 2009 and 2011 and Low played a big role in the prime minister’s relationship with the Middle Eastern and Chinese,” he said.

Shafee asked Shahrol whether he knew Najib’s former special officer, Amhari Efendi Nazaruddin, had told the court about receiving US$800,000 in a BSI Singapore Bank account and that Low gave him US$200,000 as a “loan” to buy a house.‘I was told not to challenge PAC finding’ Shahrol said he was on “team Najib’ and only played his role, when questioned by Shafee on the PAC findings that said he must be investigated for various decisions he made for the company.

He said his primary bank account with Maybank was frozen in June last year “under the orders of the task force”.

More ‘confused feelings’ than ‘envious feelings’, because those dumb muthafukkas don’t know who’s the emperor, and who’s the eunuch.
