‘Saudi King not in letter’


PUTRAJAYA: A “royal letter” that purportedly backed Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s claims of a royal donation made no mention of a key meeting between him and the late Saudi monarch King Abdullah, the High Court has been told.

The former prime minister, who was cross-examined by the prosecution over the contents of the letter in the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) case, also conceded to the prosecution’s suggestion that the letter – dated Feb 1, 2011 – made no mention of the King’s name.
