00:00A witness in Muhyiddin Yassin's corruption trial told the High Court today that CIMB

00:05Bank Berhad had filed suspicious transaction reports with Bank Nagara Malaysia regarding

00:10millions of ringgit deposited into Bersatu's account in 2021 and 2022.

00:16CIMB branch manager Lee Hui Ni, 57, testified that a total of 19.3 million ringgit was

00:23deposited into the party's account through 28 checks between August 2021 and November

00:282022.

00:29She said the funds came from several sources, including Mamforsen Yuan Berhad, an individual

00:34identified as Aswan Yusuf, and bankers' checks where the sender's names were not stated.

00:40Lee also confirmed that the account's signatories since December 2020 were Muhyiddin, Ahmad Faisal

00:46Azumu, Hamza Zainuddin, and Saleh Bajuri.

00:51During examination in chief by Deputy Public Prosecutor Wan-Shaharuddin Wanladdin, Lee explained

00:56that the bank's internal control system would flag transactions involving unusual amounts

01:01and triggered the filing of STR.

01:04Muhyiddin faces seven charges linked to his administration's Janna Wibaba program, a government initiative

01:10introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic to assist Bumiputra contractors.
