1MDB trial: I requested that ex-Bank Negara governor Zeti be informed about Saudi donation, says Najib


KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Razak said he had been transparent about the funds deposited into his AmIslamic account, which he steadfastly said came from the late Saudi monarch King Abdullah as a donation for corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives and political financing.

The former prime minister told the High Court that he had nothing to hide and he had informed the then-AmBank Group managing director, Cheah Tek Kuang at the first instance as he learned he would be receiving the donation.
