Edge Media Group chairman: I did not misinterpret Najib’s action of ‘showing me the door’


KUALA LUMPUR: The Edge Media Group chairman Tan Sri Tong Kooi Ong told the High Court that he did not misinterpret Datuk Seri Najib Razak's action of "showing him the door" after he suggested that fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho should be prosecuted.

The 63-year-old witness said during cross-examination by Najib's lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah in Najib's RM2.28bil 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) trial that Najib was silent when he got up and and walked to the door "without saying a word".
