Najib tried to prevent PAC from getting draft of 1MDB audit report, court hears


KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Razak tried to prevent the first version of the audit report on 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) from going to the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) to conceal his and Low Taek Jho's wrongdoings, the High Court heard.

Lead prosecutor Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram said in his submission that Najib's act of requiring the contents of the audit report - which was marked with “Watermark 09” - to be discussed and reviewed prior to the PAC presentation violated Section 8(3) of the Audit Act 1957.
