00:00A Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission investigating officer told the High Court today he had advised

00:07the government to seek mutual legal assistance from Singapore over Najib Razak's RM2.6 billion

00:13donation case.

00:15Nasharuddin Amir told the former Prime Minister's 1MDB trial that a further probe was necessary

00:20despite a 2015 meeting with the alleged donor Prince Saud Abdulaziz Al Saud at a Saudi Arabian

00:27palace.

00:28Nasharuddin said he and fellow colleagues Fikri Abrahim and Hafaz Nazar, their superior

00:34current MACC chief Azam Baki, and then-deputy public prosecutor Zulkifli Ahmad, were in

00:39the Middle Eastern country to investigate four purported donation letters, dated between

00:44February 1, 2011 and June 1, 2014, which were said to have been signed and sent by Saud

00:51to Najib.

00:53According to Nasharuddin, the team met Saud, his legal representative Muhammad Abdullah

00:57al-Khoman, and fugitive Tan Kim Loong at the palace and took their statements but was

01:02not satisfied as they had failed to supply banking documentation to support their assertions.

01:08However, he did not say whether the government acted on his requests.

01:18to RM2.28 billion, deposited in his Ambank accounts between February 2011 and December
