“Datuk Azlin said that whatever instructions from Jho Low were the instructions of Datuk Seri Najib who is the prime minister and also my chief,” he added, referring to his role as 1MDB CEO who reports to the Finance Ministry-owned 1MDB’s shareholder Najib via the latter’s role as finance minister.
