KUALA LUMPUR: Former 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) chairman Tan Sri Mohd Bakke Salleh told the High Court here that Datuk Seri Najib Razak had asked him to meet former Public Accounts Committee (PAC) chairman Datuk Seri Hasan Arifin to get ‘guidelines’ for his testimony to the PAC in 2016.

Mohd Bakke, 68, said he received the call from the former premier about two weeks before the PAC proceeding on Feb 11, 2016.

"He wanted me to meet up with Hasan Arifin and also with Datuk Farid Ridzuan, just to make sure that we all understood roughly what needed to be shared or said at the PAC, and that was the gist of it... At that time, the concern was to safeguard the reputation of the PM ,” he said. The witness also said that he met Hasan twice on different occasions at Farid’s house in Kiara Hills, with former 1MDB CEO Datuk Shahrol Azral Ibrahim Halmi present at the first meeting, while the second meeting was attended by 1MDB CEO Arul Kanda Kandasamy.
