His former aide says more than RM238,000 was paid to a businessman to manage a Facebook page and a Chinese publication while another witness said he was paid RM240,000 to run a news website.

KUALA LUMPUR: A former political secretary to Najib Razak told the High Court today that more than RM238,000 was paid to a businessman who had acted as an “intermediary” between the former prime minister and two companies.

“AD Network was paid for administering the ‘Ah Jib Gor’ Facebook page and Akademi Kewartawanan dan Informasi Taima was paid for publication of a Chinese weekly publication,” Wong said when responding to a question by deputy public prosecutor Mohd Saifuddin Hashim Musaimi as to the reason for the RM238,914 payment to Lim.

Asked by Saifuddin as to why the payment was not made directly to the companies, Wong said this was to avoid any dispute arising from the public over funds from the Prime Minister’s Office going to the companies. He added the money was meant to fund news website Malaysian Digest although Hafiz said his company’s main business focus was consultancy and leadership training.
