Hasan said PAC’s job in investigations against the Finance Ministry-owned company had finished last April.

“PAC has investigated and presented (the report) in Parliament. Our job is done and we will not investigate it further,” he said when contacted.

Hasan also refused to comment on the contents of the US Department of Justice (DoJ) document that clearly named businessman Low Taek Jho as the owner of the Good Star Limited account.

“That is out of my jurisdiction,” he said.

According to the DoJ document, 1MDB officials and other parties had between 2009 and 2011 transferred over USD1 billion into a Swiss bank account under the name of Good Star Limited, owned by Jho Low.

PAC member Tony Pua had previously accused Hasan of discarding part of the PAC report concerning Jho Low and Good Star without the knowledge of the other PAC members, and accused him of trying to protect Jho Low.

Pua had said that the discarded sentence said that “Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) has been informed by the authorities of that country that Good Star Limited is a company owned by an individual who has no links to PetroSaudi Group”.

Hasan then said that the action was taken considering that the Bank Negara Malaysia letter naming Jho Low as the owner of Good Star was intelligence, and that PAC could only insert information that had been confirmed to be accurate in its final report.
