Court told cheques from Najib’s bank account made out to widow, welfare home.

KUALA LUMPUR, April 22 — A RM13,800 cheque was issued from Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s AmIslamic bank account to the wife of a former aide who died from cancer, the High Court was told on the sixth day of Najib’s RM42mil SRC International Sdn Bhd trial.

“I received the cheque shortly after Najib visited my late husband, Amirudin Mohd Baria who was warded at the Prince Court Medical Centre for cancer treatment,” she said, adding that her husband had passed away in 2013 due to stage four colon cancer. When cross-examined by Najib’s lawyer, Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, she testified that her family had received two other cheques from Najib in 2013 and 2014.

Abdul Munir who testified as the 11th witness, said he received the said amount in written cheque from Najib, who was the welfare home’s patron, at the latter’s office but could not recall which office it was. Abdul Munir said the welfare home was founded by the Rahah Foundation that was named after Najib’s mother Tun Rahah Mohamed Noah.
