Najib’s PR chief Stadlen wanted in 1MDB probe

KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 1): The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has sought the public’s help to track down Paul Geoffrey Stadlen to assist in the high-profile 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) case.

It was previously reported that former Apco Malaysia boss Stadlen had managed former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s massive press operations.
Stadlen, a British national, had reportedly headed the public relations (PR) operations of the Prime Minister’s Office. 

However, former minister in the prime minister’s department Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said told Parliament in November 2015 that Stadlen was never hired as a government servant.

“Paul Stadlen was not a government servant,” Azalina had said then. 

The MACC in a statement yesterday said the 39-year-old Stadlen’s last known address was Unit A-29-8, Blok A, Loft Sentral Condominium, Jalan Stesen Sentral 5, KL Sentral, 50470 Kuala Lumpur.
