#KiniNews: Ex-banker in 1MDB affair expresses regret, Kit Siang shocked by Dr M

[KiniNews] A former banker with the defunct Singapore branch of BSI Bank expressed immense regret over his involvement in the layering of funds involving Malaysian sovereign wealth fund 1MDB.

Kevin Michael Swampillai testified this during today’s RM2.28 billion 1MDB corruption trial of former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak.

The 44th prosecution witness, who was with BSI from 2010 to 2016, was replying during cross-examination by lead defence counsel Muhammad Shafee Abdullah during proceedings before the Kuala Lumpur High Court.

Meanwhile, in a separate story, DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang said he was shocked beyond words by former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s latest statement.

Kit Siang said he could not believe that such an experienced former prime minister could say that the Malays have lost political and economic control in Malaysia.
