KWAP ex-chief testifies to hotel rendezvous with Najib’s senior aide
THE former CEO of Retirement Fund Inc (KWAP) testified today that she was asked to meet a senior aide to Najib Razak after working hours at a hotel at KL Sentral eight years ago.
Azian Mohd Noh, 66, told the court that she met with Azlin Alias, a special officer who headed Najib’s economic policy team, sometime in June 2011, to receive an application letter for a RM3.95 billion loan.
“I was contacted by Azlin’s office to meet at a hotel lobby, in KL Sentral, Kuala Lumpur,” she told the Kuala Lumpur High Court today.
“I went to the hotel at night after work.”
Azian, who was KWAP CEO from 2007 until she retired in 2013, said she received a letter from Azlin.
Azlin died in 2015 in the helicopter crash that also killed former minister Jamaluddin Jarjis, who was a close associate of Najib’s.
“I was told by Azlin that the prime minister, Datuk Seri Najib, has agreed with the proposal from SRC International and I was referred to a handwritten notation on the letter that was (in) Datuk Seri Najib’s (handwriting).”
The letter, dated June 3, 2011, was an application letter from SRC International, then owned by 1Malaysia Development Bhd, for a loan of RM3.95 billion from KWAP.
On that letter, Azian testified, was a handwritten notation of Najib’s that said, ‘Bersetuju dengan cadangan ini’ (Agree with this proposal). The notation was dated June 5.
