1MDB TRIAL | Former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak has testified it was not his directive for the multi-agency 1MDB special task force to be disbanded in 2015.
The former finance minister told the High Court convened in Putrajaya today that he also never directed for a change of attorney-general and MACC chief commissioner that same year.
Najib claimed that the changes were mere administrative exercise and that the separate 1MDB investigation by Bank Negara.
Najib is the luckiest person, until the GE that toppled him and his cronies. First, he found someone deposited US$700 million into his private bank account, spent US$70 million and sent the rest to buddy Jho Low, Next, under criminal investigation of corruption, the AG, Bank Negara Governor and MAAC chief were all removed from office when an indictment was about to be served. The IGP who supported Najib was not changed. Finally, just as a Mongolian woman was about to expose the Scopene submarine corruption, when she was stiffed from her US$500k portion, Najib’s personal protection officers from UTK, killed and executed her. His luck finally ran out before the GE, when the people got fed up with these crimes. He may however look at Mahathir or Trump, as they regained power the second time like a phoenix rising.
