A former finance ministry officer admitted in court that she was not aware of the accuracy of the details in her own written witness statement.
Siti Zauyah Md Desa said this during the RM2.28 billion 1MDB corruption trial against former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak.
Previously on June 20, the prosecution witness testified - while reading from her prepared witness statement - that former finance minister II Ahmad Husni Mohamad Hanadzlah refused to get involved in 1MDB.
Earlier on June 15, Siti Zauyah testified that Malaysia still owed RM13.3 billion in 1MDB loan.
During cross-examination by lead defence counsel Muhammad Shafee Abdullah this morning, Siti Zauyah conceded that the written witness statement was prepared by other Minister of Finance Incorporated (MOF Inc) officers.
She admitted that the statement was drafted without her presence and that only given to her at the last minute to be signed, without her having enough time to peruse it beforehand.
