| The sixth day of former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak's criminal trial involving SRC International Sdn Bhd takes place at the High Court in Kuala Lumpur.
The 53-year-old explains that the money was used for the shelter's maintenance and to pay its workers’ wages, among others.Abdul Munir testifies that he was the one who suggested the RM400,000 amount. However, he says, the funds were not reflected in the division's official account as it would have had to go through the annual general meeting and audit processes.
"Datuk Seri Najib then gave some advice to lift up my spirits, and then he handed over some contributions to assist my division to execute party plans," he told the court during examination by DPP Muhammad Saifuddin. Daud testifies to the court that he conducted three construction and repair projects amounting to RM77,300 at one of Najib's houses in 2014.
The judge tells them that the CRT recording is only meant to assist both sides in the transcription of proceedings, and not for use in an unauthorised manner, such as being uploaded onto social media."At the same time, everyone is reminded not to make prejudicial comments on the ongoing trial, including analysis of evidence and witnesses, that may prejudge the issue for determination before the court, which may constitute contempt of court.
The prosecution asks for court direction on the leak, with Sithambaram pointing out that CRT footage can only be obtained by signing an undertaking not to forward the copy to other parties, nor upload it onto any medium.
