PETALING JAYA: Former AmBank managing director Cheah Tek Kuang told the KL High Court today that he did see Low Taek Jho at Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak’s home in Jalan Langgak Duta, when he went there in 2011 to help open the former prime minister’s bank accounts.

However, Cheah did not speak with the fugitive businessman, TheEdgeMarkets reports.

Cheah, who is the 39th prosecution witness at the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB)-Tanore trial, was answering questions from Najib’s lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, who had asked him about Jho Low’s presence at Najib’s house.

“I did see Jho Low in the other car. I went into the house and [went] into a separate room. [Jho] Low went into a separate room,” he was quoted as saying.
