KUALA LUMPUR: A former political secretary to Najib Razak told the High Court today that more than RM238,000 was paid to a businessman who had acted as an “intermediary” between the former prime minister and two companies.

Testifying in the trial of his former boss over SRC International, Wong Nai Chee said RM238,914 was paid to businessman Lim Soon Peng.

He said Lim later paid the money to two companies – AD Network, and Akademi Kewartawanan dan Informasi Taima.

“AD Network was paid for administering the ‘Ah Jib Gor’ Facebook page and Akademi Kewartawanan dan Informasi Taima was paid for publication of a Chinese weekly publication,” Wong said when responding to a question by deputy public prosecutor Mohd Saifuddin Hashim Musaimi as to the reason for the RM238,914 payment to Lim.

He said the Chinese publication focused on providing information on the then government’s policies to the Chinese community.

Wong said Lim was engaged by Najib because the businessman had direct links to Chinese community leaders.

Asked by Saifuddin as to why the payment was not made directly to the companies, Wong said this was to avoid any dispute arising from the public over funds from the Prime Minister’s Office going to the companies.

“We had objective writers for the Chinese publication and we did not want the readers to know that the PM’s Office was sponsoring it,” he said.

Asked by Najib’s lawyer Shafee Abdullah why they had “objective writers” to write for the publication, Wong said they found that some issues were “painted” in a negative manner before the general election.

“We needed to project the policies in an objective manner,” he added.

Meanwhile, Wong said regarding the “Ah Jib Gor” page, social media users provided their feedback to the government on issues, including what they thought of the government and the cost of living.

“It is for the government to better understand the community,” he added.

Meanwhile, another witness, Onn Hafiz Ghazi testified that a sum of RM240,000 was paid to his company, Vital Spire Sdn Bhd.

He added the money was meant to fund news website Malaysian Digest although Hafiz said his company’s main business focus was consultancy and leadership training.

Asked by Shafee as to who Malaysian Digest’s target readers were, Hafiz said the now defunct website catered to the general public.

“We carried news from the government and also opposition. We saw it as a balanced website,” he said, adding it was up to the public to judge them.

Najib is facing six charges of money laundering and criminal breach of trust in the transfer of RM42 million to his account from SRC International, a former unit of 1MDB.

He is also accused of abusing his power as prime minister by giving government guarantees on SRC International’s RM4 billion loan from Retirement Fund Inc.

The hearing continues on tomorrow before High Court judge Nazlan Ghazali.

...Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak (pic) claimed Malaysians were suffering under Pakatan Harapan's administration after falling for their accusations against himself and Barisan Nasional.

Selective PM. Tak aci ni.

I sedih no more dedak and easy money. Need to find new sauce of income. Being PH cybertrooper pay very kedekut.

So much money spent like water, just to stay in power..

Come guess how many of such instruction was given for payments coming from Najib.

I switch side to PH. PM best offer.

A sign of guilt. If whatever Najib did was justified they won't be covering their tracks.

Too bad Google remembers everything :
