PETALING JAYA - Broadcaster Al Jazeera's interview with former premier Najib Razak won the Interview of the Year prize at the Royal Television Society Television Awards 2019.
"Although the story focused on an issue few would have known about prior to the interview, this did not detract from the viewer's ability to understand the jaw-dropping venality of the interviewee," it said. His wife Rosmah Mansor was accused of receiving US$30 million worth of jewellery bought with money originating from 1MDB, including a 22-carat pink diamond necklace worth US$27.3 million alone.Najib also said that a large sum of money found in his bank account just before the 2013 general election came from a Saudi donation."I would not receive a single cent from sources connected with 1MDB because if it's 1MDB I would know right away it would not be the right thing to do.
Najib got visibly irritated when the questions asked by Ms Jolley revolved around 1MDB and Jho Low who was believed to have orchestrated the US$4.5 billion theft. After around 20 minutes, Najib said:"We are supposed to talk about the economy. You are going too much about this. I do not want to talk too much about it".
