KUALA LUMPUR, June 21 — Datuk Seri Najib Razak had paid more than RM22 million in 39 cheques which he personally signed to the director of company which prepared his speeches as prime minister and managed the media for him, the High Court heard today in the 1Malaysia Development Berhad trial.

“Tan Sri, I went to see the PM in his official office every month for three years, I collected signed cheques from him, I didn't collect bags of cash, I banked those cheques into my corporate account for three years without exception, without questioning by the bank, without any red flags at all,” he told Najib's lead defence lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah.

“So at no time did I infer nor assume or could I find out whose account this was, and neither was it my business. As far as I was concerned, he was my client, the cheque did not bear a printed name, he merely was a signatory,” he replied.
