" Another instruction in the letter was to debit the remaining amount from those accounts for the issuance of bank draft in the name of AmPrivate Banking-1MY," she said, adding that an attachment enclosed with the letter was a money transfer slip that had been processed by the bank as instructed in the letter.

" Based on the (money transfer) slip, RM12,436,711.87 was transferred to the AmPrivate Banking-1MY account on August 30, 2013, whereby the account (AmPrivate Banking) belongs to Datuk Seri Najib, which was opened at the Jalan Raja Chulan branch on July 31, 2013, " she also added.
