PETALING JAYA: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has admitted that the nation was cheated by fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho, also known as Jho Low, but accused investment bank Goldman Sachs, lawyers and auditors for failing to protect the country’s interests in the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) scandal.

In an interview with Sinar Harian, the former prime minister was asked whether he ever saw, from an early stage, the possibility that Low would cause the country to lose billions of ringgit.
