He says man who made payment to Rewcastle-Brown is close to Pas president Hadi Awang.
The government-linked company boss implicated in the alleged RM1.4 million payout to Clare Rewcastle-Brown is not Anwar Ibrahim's best friend.
The man in question is said to have banked in the amount as part of Pas president Abdul Hadi Awang's out of court settlement with Rewcastle-Brown over a defamation suit. Hadi had earlier sued Rewcastle-Brown in London over a 2016 Sarawak Report article which alleged that then prime minister Najib Abdul Razak channeled RM90 million to top PAS leaders in a bid to secure support ahead of the 14th general election.
Saying that there was nothing wrong with Hadi and man having a close relationship, Rafizi remarked tongue-in-cheek that he is not surprised that the latter was willing to fork out RM1.4 million to save his best friend's image.
