Ambrin to testify tomorrow at PAC meeting on 1MDB report

KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 3): Former Auditor-General Tan Sri Ambrin Buang (pictured) will testify at the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) meeting tomorrow on the claim alterations had been made to the AG’s report on 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB).  

"He will be giving his statement tomorrow at 11 am," PAC chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ronald Keindee told reporters at the Parliament building. 

He said Ambrin has been identified as one of the witnesses who will be giving their statements to the parliamentary committee. 

Current AG Tan Sri Madinah Mohamad will testify on Wednesday, followed by Saadatul Nafisah Bashir Ahmad, a senior officer at the National Audit Department, on Thursday. 

"Any other witnesses will be informed later," he said. 

Madinah recently said that a paragraph that showed financier Low Taek Jho (Jho Low) attended 1MDB’s board meeting had been removed from the final audit report on the state fund. 

Madinah said this was done on the directive of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s former principal private secretary, Tan Sri Shukry Salleh, on Feb 26, 2016, on grounds it was a sensitive issue and to avoid the disclosure from being manipulated by the then political opposition. — theedgemarkets.com
