KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has told off PAS Ulama Chief Datuk Ahmad Yahya for claiming the government is following the Western and Israeli narrative in the ongoing Palestinian conflict.

KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here on Tuesday was told that Datuk Seri Najib Razak's action of moving RM150mil and RM12mil from his personal account to another personal account in AmIslamic bank is categorised as an offence under the Anti-Money Laundering Act .

"The action is also deemed as layering because it is an attempt to mislead the authorities, making it harder to track the initial source of the money," he said. However, Najib's counsel, Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, said the act of layering must have an element of concealing to it, which Najib did not do as Bank Negara Malaysia was aware of the transaction at the material time.
