This is after Harvinderjit asked the witness whether it is possible that Najib could not be liable for any wrongdoing in his accounts if the bank statements never reached him. He then continues with his cross-examination of Uma Devi over who manages accounts at AmBank's Raja Chulan branch, where she is the branch manager.- AmBank relationship managers can open accounts for their clients, and each manager has a unique code, which would be stated in the bank's internal account-opening forms.

During cross examination by defence counsel Harvinderjit, the 21st witness says the employees had resigned"long ago".Asked when exactly they left the bank, Uma says she has no idea as she does not liaise with them. She further testifies that three days later , a group of Bank Negara officers visited the branch, and asked about accounts belonging to SRC International, Gandingan Mentari, Yayasan Gemilang, and Najib.The central bank officers gave her the names orally, she adds, but she can't recall if they gave her account numbers or were reading the names from a list.

The bank manager then tells the court that she could not recall most of the names, but mentions that the authority might have queried whether SRC International directors had opened personal accounts with the branch. Witness never met Najib, SRC directors- AmBank's Jalan Raja Chulan branch manager R Uma Devi says she has no personal knowledge of what transpired in accounts at the branch prior to July 1, 2015.
