PUTRAJAYA:
Former auditor-general Ambrin Buang was called to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters here today, believed to be over the alleged tampering of 1MDB’s final audit report.

Ambrin arrived at the MACC office at 3.15pm, according to a MACC source.

Auditor-General Dr Madinah Mohamad, in a statement released to the media yesterday, disclosed that amendments were made to the audit report on the scandal-plagued investment arm, on the orders of, among others, former prime minister Najib Razak and Najib’s former principal private secretary Shukry Salleh.

In the statement dated Nov 24, Madinah said the two crucial omissions in the report were on the presence of businessman Low Taek Jho or Jho Low at a meeting of the 1MDB board of directors and a paragraph containing two versions of the 1MDB financial statement for the year ended 2014.

MACC, in a statement yesterday, said it had opened an investigation into the claim and would call up several witnesses to assist in the probe.
