Najib emphasised that he had nothing to hide, stating that he promptly informed the then-AmBank Group Managing Director.
: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak told the High Court here today that he has always been transparent about the funds deposited into his AmIslamic account, consistently maintaining that they were donations from the late Saudi King Abdullah intended for corporate social responsibility initiatives and political financing.
“I would like to emphasise that I was transparent from the very beginning and immediately informed Mr Cheah about this when I opened the account, a step I was not obligated to take especially given that at the time I was a textbook example of what is defined as a politically exposed person. The former Pekan MP is taking the stand to defend himself against four charges of using his position to obtain RM2.3 billion of 1MDB funds in bribes and 21 charges of money laundering involving the same amount.
“What is even more troubling is the clear evidence demonstrating the complicity of Shahrol Azral Ibrahim Halmi , Jasmine Loo and others with fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho in the misappropriation of billions from 1MDB, which appears to be brushed aside, excused, or conveniently ignored.
