Jho Low referred US dollar as 'pie' and ringgit as 'satay', says witness


Located in the coveted Bird Streets on a pie-shaped promontory known as the Crown, the 1.2-acre complex was famously owned by Jho Low.

KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): A former AmBank relationship manager told the High Court here Monday (July 29) that fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho, who is also known as Jho Low, referred to the US dollar and ringgit as "pie" and "satay" in transactions involving Datuk Seri Najib Razak's accounts.

Joanna Yu Ging Ping, 48, was referring to chat logs in the Blackberry between her and Jho Low during cross-examination by Najib’s lawyer Harvinderjit Singh on the 45th day of the former prime minister's trial in relation to misappropriation of RM42mil of SRC International Sdn Bhd’s funds.
