The New Straits Times reported on 27^th December 2019 that Nor Salwani Mohammad, a National Audit Department staff had secretly recorded a high-level meeting involving the then chief secretary of the government.It was alleged that during that meeting instructions had been given to modify the 1MDB audit report.While Nor Salwani's boss, the then Auditor General had cleared her of any wrongdoing, on 16^th June 2020 recently the former chief secretary of the government, Ali Hamsa testified in court that Nor Salwani's act of secretly recording the meeting was arguably unethical for a civil servant.
