Najib: I didn’t ask for ‘special treatment’, never hid my identity for AmIslamic accounts receiving ‘donations’
Having opened two current accounts with the account numbers ending 9694 and 1880 at AmIslamic bank in 2011 and 2013, Najib said he “never asked” for these two bank accounts to have the designated codenames “AmPrivate Banking-MR” and “AmPrivate Banking-1MY”. But Najib said that the assigning of codenames to his accounts was an “internal decision made by AmBank”, basing this on the bank’s former managing director Cheah Tek Kuang’s court testimony.
Najib said he had from the start intended to be transparent about his AmIslamic bank accounts and their purpose, unlike other individuals – such as now-fugitive Low Taek Jho, 1MDB’s former in-house lawyer Jasmine Loo, Najib’s former special officer Datuk Amhari Efendi Nazaruddin.
