(The Edge Markets) – Former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has made ‘unprecedented’ contributions to Chinese education and was a tolerant leader when it came to racial and religion matters, the High Court was told today.

This was the view of Najib’s former political secretary Datuk Wong Nai Chee, 50, who was called as the fifth prosecution witness in the trial of the former premier’s alleged involvement in money laundering and abuse of power in relation to funds from 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB), otherwise known as the 1MDB-Tanore trial.
