KUALA LUMPUR: The request to review a rejected proposal to acquire the Merdeka Palace Hotel and Suites in Kuching came from Datuk Seri Najib Razak, the High Court heard on Wednesday (Oct 16).

The court heard that Tan Sri Isa Samad had told former Felda Investment Corporation Sdn Bhd's chief executive officer Zaid Abdul Jalil to review the deal, which was a request from the then-prime minister Najib.

Zaid, 48, said that Isa, who was the then-Felda and FIC chairman, told him this after the letter to inform Gegasan Abadi Properties of the decision to decline was sent out."As far as I remember, about two weeks after FIC's letter to Gegasan Abadi Properties dated Feb 28,2014, I received a call from Isa and he ordered me to re-evaluate the proposal to purchase the hotel.

He said that the letter was addressed to Isa in his capacity as FIC chairman and was dated March 28,2014. On Dec 14,2018, Isa, 70, claimed trial to one count of criminal breach of trust by approving the purchase of the hotel without the approval of the Felda board of directors on April 29,2014.
