Irish singer Bono and Queen Rania of Jordan were among the names floated to be members of the board of trustees of a foundation that was to be set up for the Terengganu Investment Authority (TIA), the predecessor of 1MDB, the Kuala Lumpur High Court heard today.

Lead defence counsel Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, cross-examining the prosecution's witness Amhari Efendi Nazaruddin in former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak's 1MDB graft trial today, ran through documents related to the setting up of TIA and its charitable foundation.

Amhari said the names were provided by businessperson Low Taek Jho, better known as Jho Low, at one of their "secret" meetings. He added that he didn't know if they were eventually appointed.
