1MDB trial: Kee Kok Thiam admitted depositing cash into Najib’s accounts, worried ex-PM would be probed under Dr M, court told
Raywel was testifying as the 18th defence witness in Najib’s 1MDB trial, where over RM2 billion of 1MDB’s funds allegedly entered Najib’s personal bank accounts. The second excerpt that Deepa read out was on page twelve of Kee’s statement to the MACC: “While in Phuket, we got to know that Tun Mahathir became prime minister and we worried if Datuk Seri Najib Razak will be investigated. Jho Low asked us to not return to Malaysia first to see the current political situation in Malaysia.
Low is also known as Jho Low, and the prosecution has argued that he is the mirror image of Najib. Najib had in this trial objected to this description. Asked by Najib’s lead defence lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, Raywel who is in MACC’s anti-money laundering division said his investigation was on a complaint regarding assets owned by Kee in Singapore.
Nabilla brought the Kuala Lumpur courts’ three files for three separate applications in 2018 by the police and the MACC to obtain arrest warrants against Loo at the Magistrates’ Courts. Asked by Akram, Nabilla confirmed that Loo was not present during all three court proceedings to get the arrest warrants, also confirming that the arrest warrants would have been unnecessary if Loo was present.
