KUALA LUMPUR: Fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho or Jho Low did not like cheques issued in the name of Datuk Seri Najib Razak to bounce due to insuf­ficient funds, the High Court heard. “I don’t think he was concerned about what cheques were being issued, he was concerned about the cheques not being honoured by the bank as a result of insufficient funds,” Yu said. Muhammad Farhan referred the witness to several text messages between her and Low, in which Low wrote: “Please clear cheques, don’t bounce it.”The witness agreed to the suggestion. Yu said there were instances where Low made several enqui­ries to make sure that no cheques bounced. Muhammad Farhan then “corrected” the witness and said his question was specifically on the “behaviour” of an account holder and not the status of the account itself.
