KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 12 — Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak had used his powers to instruct for changes to be made in 2016 to the auditor-general's audit report on 1Malaysia Development Berhad before it could be given to the bipartisan parliamentary watchdog Public Accounts Committee, an investigator with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission said today.

"Based on my investigation, the second accused in this case, had used his powers as prime minister and finance minister at that time by ordering for the audit report on 1MDB to be amended before it can be tabled at the Public Accounts Committee on February 24, 2016. For Arul Kanda Kandasamy , he had abetted the second accused in this case," Haniff told the High Court today

Haniff said that Najib had in that meeting ordered Ali to hold a coordination meeting between the National Audit Department and Arul Kanda to discuss matters which he was"dissatisfied" with in the NAD's 1MDB audit report, and that Najib had also said the 1MDB audit report is not to be printed until he gives his permission.
