Former Treasury secretary-general Tan Sri Dr Wan Abdul Aziz Wan Abdullah said when testifying at Najib’s corruption trial involving the misappropriation of RM42mil in SRC International funds here Wednesday , that Najib made the request to him in a one-on-one meeting with him at the Prime Minister’s Office.

The witness, however, could not remember the exact date of the meeting and did not make any notes on Najib’s instructions.Dr Wan Abdul Aziz said the loan would have remained at RM1bil if the communication did not happen.“I would like to state here that if there was no communication between Najib and I on the loan from KWAP to SRC International, the investment panel would have stuck with approving the RM1bil loan as per the consideration and approval of the panel,” he said.

Dr Wan Abdul Aziz said the former prime minister also requested him to hasten the approval for the loan application. “After the meeting, I informed KWAP CEO Datuk Azian Mohd Noh of Najib’s instructions to rush the approval process with the RM2bil amount." Dr Wan Abdul Aziz said the investment panel was informed of the meeting between him and Najib and the details were noted in the panel’s meeting minutes.On July 4 last year, Najib claimed trial to a charge of abuse of power and three counts of criminal breach of trust linked to the 1MDB scandal.On Aug 8, he appeared in court again for the second time and was charged with three counts of money laundering involving the same RM42mil.
