PETALING JAYA: In an effort to explain a report alleging he said that the Malaysian police had asked him to say Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak was the “best Malaysian PM”, Swiss banker-turned-whistleblower Xavier Justo took to Facebook to address Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) director Comm Datuk Seri Amar Singh on the matter.

“I don’t remember giving an interview to this media. I want to explain that I’m quite sure that I never said these words. I said that (Briton) Paul Finnigan and the Thai Police gave me your questions in advance and that they wanted me to say that,” he said.
