1MDB TRIAL | Jasmine Loo testified that fugitive businessperson Low Taek Jho (Jho Low) claimed to have evidence to show his actions were done on the behest and knowledge of former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak.

The former 1MDB general counsel told the Kuala Lumpur High Court today that Low made the claim to her after he was asked about media reports between 2015 and 2016 about a large influx of funds entering Najib’s bank account.

I understand hearsay to be something else. She asked a specific question and she testified as to what answer she was given. That is not hearsay. She heard it directly from Low.
