SINGAPORE prosecutors claimed that ex-BSI banker Yeo Jiawei, the man who played a key role in the transactions believed to involve 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), had contacted former colleague Yak Yew Chee, soon after Yak filed a criminal motion this year to release his assets seized amid the ongoing probe by regulators here.
It was revealed in court on Tuesday that Yeo sent Yak a message via encrypted messenger Telegram: "Why did you do such a stupid thing? You have gained nothing but lose so much. Anyway, they are very unhappy with you."
