Najib didn't mention meeting late Saudi King in 2010, court hears


KUALA LUMPUR: Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak had never spoken about meeting the late King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia in 2010, where the King purportedly pledged to give Najib donations, says a Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) investigating officer.

Senior officer Nur Aida Arifin, 37, testified at the High Court here on Monday (April 22) that during the course of her investigation into the misappropriation of 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) funds, the former premier did not disclose the meeting to her.
