1MDB TRIAL | Najib Abdul Razak did not intimidate KPMG managing partner Johan Idris to sign off on 1MDB’s accounts nearly 22 years ago, the sovereign wealth fund’s ex-chairperson testified.

Defence witness Che Lodin Wok Kamaruddin told the High Court in Putrajaya this afternoon that the ex-premier had merely made a polite request for the auditor to sign off the fund’s accounts.
