Witness: Jho Low was a regular at Najib's home, would ask for 'Milo ais'


KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): A witness told the High Court here that fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho, also known as Jho Low, was seen to be so close to Datuk Seri Najib Razak, that he requested for a "Milo ais" as soon as he stepped into the former premier's residence.

Datuk Shahrol Azral Ibrahim Halmi, 49, the ninth witness for the prosecution and former chief executive officer of state-owned sovereign wealth fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), said that he witnessed this when he was taken to the former premier's residence in Putrajaya, by Jho Low himself.
