Najib says on Facebook 1MDB never dealt directly with Jho Low

KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 23): Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) has never dealt directly with Low Taek Jho. Najib said Low, who is also known as Jho Low, has never worked for or represented 1MDB.

Najib wrote in a Facebook post yesterday: "Every agreement and payment involving 1MDB [were] with joint ventures like PetroSaudi and Aabar."

Najib said this in response to his live interview earlier yesterday on Sinar Harian's Facebook page.

Today, The Edge Financial Daily reported that Najib admitted in the interview that the Malaysian government has been cheated by Low in the 1MDB scandal.

"If we take into account what we know today, then that's the truth" Najib said in reply to a question by Karangkraf editorial adviser Datuk Abd Jalil Ali in the interview. — theedgemarkets.com
