I worked and acted at the behest and instructions of the Minister of Finance, to assist him with his vast and heavy responsibilities. Mahathir singled me out as “a trusted adviser to former finance minister Lim Guan Eng” and accused me of “unauthorised involvement in government business”. The project involved is Exchange106 which is part of the controversial Tun Razak Exchange, a 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) legacy. The project is estimated to cost approximately RM3 billion, of which RM1.8 billion was to be funded via a loan. This is after Najib has abused his position as the Finance Minister to bailout the private project with RM1.8 billion guaranteed by the Government.
