Najib is accused of using his position to order amendments to the 1MDB final audit report before it was tabled to the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) to avoid any action against him. Shukry had earlier called a meeting with Ali and former auditor-general Tan Sri Ambrin Buang to discuss the audit report at the PMO on Feb 22,2016. Two days later on Feb 24, Ali called a meeting with 1MDB and other relevant agencies to discuss amendments to the report where Shukry was also present. Sivananthan also repeatedly questioned Ali on whether the witness himself had suggested for the matters that were discussed in the meeting to be removed. Ali said the meeting could discuss and suggest what was needed to be removed from the audit report but essentially it was up to Ambrin as the auditor-general to decide.
