KUALA LUMPUR: The large transactions involving former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s bank account made it a “sensitive one” that could even affect the value of the ringgit, the High Court was told.

“The transaction amount was large. If the market actually knew in terms of this amount, definitely the market would have taken a position. And it would affect the ringgit value,” said AmBank Private Banking capital market desk head, Yap Wai Keat, 57.
