'Boss will take care': Fugitive Malaysian businessman Jho Low told Najib's aides in push to open Singapore accounts in 1MDBtrial
KUALA LUMPUR -"Boss will take care" - these were the exact words used by fugitive financier Low Taek Jho to convince two of former permier Najib Razak's aides to open bank accounts in foreign countries.
In 2012, Low sent Najib's former special officer Datuk Amhari Efendi Nazaruddin and the late Datuk Seri Azlin Alias, who was Najib's principal private secretary, to Singapore where he had arranged for the setting up of the accounts to be held in a hotel room.It took Low, also known as Jho Low, several meetings to convince Azlin to proceed with it, as the latter was uncomfortable with the arrangement.
"Azlin told me that we have to follow his instructions or we might lose our jobs or our family might be harmed now that we know about the plan," Mr Amhari said.In a subsequent meeting with Low, Mr Amhari said he found it strange that his account was suddenly approved even without any follow-up action.
