‘Bank Negara never told of Arab donation letters meant for Najib’

KUALA LUMPUR: Bank Negara Malaysia was never made aware about three letters regarding Arab donation from an individual alleged to be a member of the Saudi royal family and which were addressed to former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, the High Court was told.

Former Bank Negara governor Tan Sri Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz said the three letters, dated Nov 1, 2011, March 1, 2013 and June 1, 2014 were never disclosed to the central bank and were only discovered during a joint raid by Bank Negara and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) at AmBank on July 6, 2015.
