PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Seri Najib Razak has told the High Court that not a single sen from 1Malaysia Development Bhd’s (1MDB) coffers were spent on corporate social responsibility (CSR) projects for his own benefit or to boost his personal image.

The former prime minister said he was only carrying out his official duties as the country’s premier and that the source of funds came from a donation from the late King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia.
