KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 30 — Datuk Seri Najib Razak would surely have put a halt to businessman Low Taek Jho’s behind-the-scenes instructions involving 1Malaysia Development Berhad’s deals, purported “investments” and borrowings worth billions of ringgit if the latter’s directives would harm the company and Malaysia, the company’s former CEO said today.
Shahrol said Low tended to covertly provide action plans, talking points and directives on 1MDB to him directly through non-official email addresses or through messaging service BBM, noting that Low would also forward written information that he had first briefed to Najib before sending them over to Shahrol.
“Each time the same method happens, there is an email, instructions from Jho Low, and then Datuk Seri Najib will act in line with what I have discussed with Jho Low, so I am confident, that Datuk Seri Najib knows about those matters and there is no reason for me to breach instructions that come from Datuk Seri Najib,” Shahrol told the High Court during Najib’s corruption trial over 1MDB funds.
“A finance minister and prime minister would certainly act for what is best. I am only the CEO that has to comply with the 1MDB M&A that gives full power to Datuk Seri Najib,” Shahrol added.
