Ex-1MDB CEO denies treating Jho Low like Malaysia’s PM
Shahrol Azral Ibrahim Halmi says he communicated with then prime minister Najib Razak through informal channels, including through Jho Low.
Former 1MDB CEO Shahrol Azral Ibrahim Halmi denied treating businessman Low Taek Jho, also known as Jho Low, as though he were Malaysia's prime minister. However, he admitted to communicating with then-PM Najib Razak through informal channels, possibly via Jho Low. Testifying in the USD5.64 billion civil suit against 1MDB, Shahrol was asked if he believed it was crucial for the sitting prime minister to know about the dispute between Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan over the Serdar oil field.
He replied that it was, but he was unsure if Jho Low had informed Najib about this particular issue.
