‘Late-night chats were for Umno’


KUALA LUMPUR: Late-night chats between Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s former Ambank relationship manager and fugitive financier Low Taek Jho, or Jho Low, were for the benefit of Umno and not personal, the High Court heard.

Joanna Yu, formerly of AmBank, admitted to having late-night chats on BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) with Low, but clarified that the chat was about moving a RM5mil transaction for the political party.
