KUALA LUMPUR: Payments made by Datuk Seri Najib Razak, meant for two organisations for a weekly Chinese publication and the administration of a Facebook page, went through a middleman instead of the entities directly, the second day of the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) trial heard Thursday (Aug 29).

Former political secretary to the former premier Datuk Wong Nai Chee told the High Court that this was to prevent the cheque from circulating on Facebook.
