KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 26 — Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s AmIslamic bank account was known by the codename of AmPrivate Banking MR because special approval was given by the bank, a bank officer confirmed today.
Shown a past bank statement for Najib’s 9694 account at the Jalan Raja Chulan branch, Uma Devi confirmed that it showed the account to be known as “AmPrivate Banking MR”. Najwa: Can you tell the court if you know whether there are other customers in AmBank who received such approval to change the name of the bank account to these words?Najib’s 9694 account was where more than RM2 billion had flowed in and where more than RM2 billion had also flowed out during the years 2011 to 2013.
She said only the relationship manager directly handling Najib’s accounts and the branch staff would have access to look at the status of the two accounts belonging to Najib, and that no other individuals would have such access. Asked if approval is required by the account holder for the issuance of cheques, Uma Devi said that for the case of Najib’s accounts where a mandate had been given to an authorised person, the bank would contact the person authorised by Najib to confirm the cheques.
Later at around 4pm while Uma Devi was signing off on written amendments to typos in her witness statement, a man wearing spectacles and a predominantly green print shirt with touches of yellow and blue was seen passing a plastic bottle of water to Najib who was still sitting in the dock.
