‘I was told to leave Najib’s home’

KUALA LUMPUR: The Edge Media Group chairman was asked to leave the residence of Datuk Seri Najib Razak (pic) after the media magnate suggested that fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho or Jho Low should be investigated and charged for stealing US$700mil from 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB), the High Court heard.

Tan Sri Tong Kooi Ong, 63, testified that he had met with the former prime minister at his Langgak Duta residence on March 6, 2015, where they had a conversation about 1MDB and the coverage that The Edge had been carrying on the sovereign wealth fund.
