: Former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak testified before the High Court today, asserting that he did not interfere with the special task force’s investigation into 1Malaysia Development Berhad and SRC International Sdn Bhd, as he himself was under investigation at the time.
“If you inadvertently or deliberately say something, then it could constitute a crime,“ Najib said during re-examination by his counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah in SRC International’s USD1.18 billion civil suit against him and former SRC chief executive officer Nik Faisal Ariff Kamil, who remains at large.
He also noted that filing another police report at that time would have been superfluous, as the 1MDB and SRC scandals were already making headlines nationwide in 2015 and an investigation was in progress. “I told Cheah to take the letter and informed the BNM governor. I wanted my account to be closely monitored by BNM to make sure that nothing untoward would happen. As a customer of the bank, I would not have access to the source of funds, that is why I wanted Ambank and BNM to monitor,“ Najib explained.
