Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak at the Kuala Lumpur Court Complex today. - BernamaFormer Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak told the High Court here today that he preferred donations from the Saudi royal family instead of from local corporate donors.

“As the Umno president at that time, I wanted a source of income to make me independent of other donors, that would mean I do not have an IOU with anyone,“ said the former finance minister, when re-examined by his lawyer, Harvinderjit Singh. To another question, Najib said his bank accounts with AmBank were opened in 2010, following a suggestion by fugitive businessman Jho Low, or Low Taek Jho, to facilitate the transfer involving large amount of money from the Saudi royal family.
