"Najib instructed me to hold a coordination meeting between the National Audit Department and former 1MDB chief executive officer Arul Kanda Kandasamy and other officers."
The Federal Court judge said a purposive reading of Article 132 reflects the administrative structure envisaged for the governance and operation of the Federation, and not to determine who can be held liable for misfeasance while holding public office.

Umno Kedah is among 41 entities which the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) had filed forfeiture suits against to recover assets linked to 1MDB.
High Court judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah said he had no choice but to adjourn today's proceedings and vacate tomorrow's round of the trial as well, because Shahrol and Shafee's ailments are preventing them from attending hearings.
This follows Justice Mohamad Zaini Mazlan saying he is disinclined to grant an adjournment.
Justice Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali in his decision found the prosecution has proven a prima facie case against the former premier.
The decision was made by High Court Justice Datuk Azimah Omar in chambers today, where it was related to lawyers representing FGV and the five directors.
This followed a request from the prosecution, led by former Federal Court judge Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram, for Justice Zaini's court to vacate the Nov 18-29 dates and possibly the January dates in order to finish the 1MDB-Tanore trial that also involves Najib, which is deemed as a priority.
