FORMER prime minister Najib Razak’s SRC International trial enters its 10th day today. The trial was a first for Malaysians, who have never seen a prime minister, former or incumbent, hauled to court to answer criminal charges.
But that proved to be just the start of a week of brow-raising revelations, among the most fascinating of which being the accused’s alleged spending habits, as seen through the large cheques issued to everyone – from the plumber to political supporters.
There was RM156,500 issued from an AmBank account to pay a kitchen cabinet designer and a plumbing specialist for renovations to his private residence in the posh enclave of Langgak Duta in Kuala Lumpur.
An AmBank AmBank manager R. Uma Devi also testified that RM4 billion was transferred from SRC International through its subsidiary Gandingan Mentari by March 2012 and that RM37 million was later transferred to Najib’s personal accounts between 2014 and 2015.
Uma also told the court that more than RM3 million was transferred from Najib’s AmBank account on August 11, 2014 to pay two credit card bills.
Najib faces three counts of criminal breach of trust (CBT), three counts of money-laundering and one count of abuse of power over funds amounting to RM42 million linked to SRC International. – April 29, 2019.

Najib's friends and family are many, so are his cronies. With evidences mounting, hope his hot shots are still having "fun" in court. Will Jho Low come out from hiding to defend his friend?
