Najib's 1MDB trial: Witness says some Umno members envious of close Jho Low-Najib ties

KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The High Court heard Monday (Oct 7) that some people within UMNO were jealous of Low Taek Jho or Jho Low’s influence over and access to former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

Former 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) CEO Datuk Shahrol Azral Ibrahim Halmi said Jho Low wanted to keep his involvement in 1MDB low-key so as not to jeopardise Najib’s position in Umno.
