WHEN 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) was in the process of being set up, Datuk Seri Nazir Razak (pic) had already warned his brother of the dire consequences of setting up another sovereign wealth fund in Malaysia.

In fact the biggest obstacle for Low Taek Jho, better known as Jho Low in 2009, was Nazir. Jho Low feared that Nazir would put a stop to the first fund raising by 1MDB of RM5bil that was completed sometime in September that year.
