KUALA LUMPUR: Former premier Datuk Seri Najib Razak said he was shocked that fugitive financier Low Taek Jho (Jho Low) was dealing with AmBank on managing his personal accounts. “I have never allowed Jho Low to deal with the bank concerning my bank accounts and I was not informed [about] this,” said Najib. “Jho Low chose to not inform me [about] his involvement in dealing with my accounts. He also denied giving directives to Jho Low resulting in Nik Faisal signing several letters to the bank to perform transactions. “My lawyer’s cross-examination has shown the BBM (BlackBerry Messenger) messages between Yu [and Jho Low] revealed Ung was directed by Jho Low,” Najib said.
