Manisah testifies that Najib kept his promise to her late husband to take care of their children's academic fees.However, she says, the cheques stopped coming in 2015.

However, he could not confirm whether the items contained transcripts of Yu's and other bankers' conversation with other witnesses. Rumah Penyayang Tun Abdul Razak describes itself on its website as a shelter for impoverished children and orphans in Pekan, Pahang.

He says that he would usually put in a request for contributions from Najib when the organisation exceeded its budget.last week that there was a RM400,000 cheque transaction to the shelter from an Ambank account linked to Najib's SRC International case. He also testifies that it was a normal practice for Umno divisions to receive contributions from the party headquarters, since the time when Dr Mahathir Mohamad was its president.11am
Asmadi said the cheque was made payable to him, and was later deposited into his Maybank account before being used to organise programmes for non-government organisations and associations.- Daud testifies that the two water towers were constructed at Najib's Pekan residence due to “pressing need” , and not for luxury.
This included a contract to build two water towers at the house in Pekan, Pahang, which was called Seri Kenangan.Daud says one of the towers was built near the house's kitchen, while the other was near Najib's bedroom.The witness adds that two other works he carried out for Najib were maintenance of his Pekan residence , for which he charged RM9,540, and repairs of the house's door knobs and kitchen for RM760.
Sithambaram stands firm, however, and insists that spreading the CRT is wrong and affects the court's integrity.'Why is uploading CRT wrong when the media reports on trial?'- Harvinderjit backs his co-counsel Shafee, asking why uploading of CRT recordings are wrong when the media gives the public minute-by-minute updates of the trial.
"We seek an undertaking from the defence not to give the CRT to any third party. The public and social media users should also be warned not to upload without permission from the court.
