PUTRAJAYA: A former Cabinet member told the High Court that Datuk Seri Najib Razak could not have been behind the idea to federalise the Terengganu Investment Authority (TIA) due to a four-month delay in the preparation of a memorandum on the matter.
Former entrepreneur development and cooperatives minister Tan Sri Noh Omar, 67, who was under an examination-in-chief by Najib's lead counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, said that it took four months for the Finance Ministry to prepare the memorandum on the federalisation of TIA after a Cabinet approval was obtained.
