KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court was told on Wednesday that Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak made payments of nearly RM23mil through 39 cheques to Semarak Konsortium Satu Sdn Bhd for providing international media team services and English speechwriters to the former prime minister between 2011 and 2014.
According to the 45th prosecution witness, the company's services to Najib began after the issue of services by APCO Worldwide to the Malaysian government arose where the government paid APCO a total of RM76.8mil in 2010. "As a result of this issue, I saw a business opportunity there and contacted APCO chief executive officer in Malaysia at that time, Paul Stadlen, to inquire if he was willing to leave APCO and provide services privately, and he agreed," he said.
During the meeting, he said he proposed a cost-reimbursement method for the services, where each month he would submit claims to Najib for payment. "I see him monthly and I give him invoices including for operating costs and he will proceed with the payments.
