Najib's affirmed affidavit from another trial showed that the former premier knew that the RM42 million in his AmBank accounts came from SRC International Sdn Bhd as early as February 2016, contradicting his defence that he did not know the money came from the former 1Malaysia Development Bhd unit.

Yu had last week testified that Najib's signatures were required for any cheques for withdrawal on his accounts and that it was not possible for former SRC International Sdn Bhd chief executive officer to withdraw funds from the account.

The postings in question were dated on the night of July 15 and on the morning of July 17.

At about 12:22pm, High Court deputy registrar Mahyudin Mohd Som informed the parties involved in the case of the warning by the authorities when lawyer Harvinderjit Singh was cross-examining former AmBank relationship manager Joanna Yu Ging Ping.

Former AmBank customer relationship manager Joanna Yu Ging Ping will continue to be cross-examined by the defence with focus on her exchanges with fugitive businessman Jho Low.

Najib's lawyer Wan Aizuddin Wan Mohammad had asked for an adjournment and told the court that Harvinderjit, who had been cross-examining former AmBank relationship liaison manager Joanna Yu Ging Ping, was sick.

The unanimous decision was made by a three-member appeal court bench led by Justice Datuk Abdul Rahman Sebli, with the other two judges being Justice Datuk Kamardin Hashim and Justice Datuk Zabariah Mohd Yusof.

Court overruling prosecution's objection.

Yu said she only took instructions from Nik Faisal, who is the mandate holder of Najib’s  accounts with the bank.

Justice Nazlan will today listen to submissions from Attorney General Tommy Thomas and Najib's lead counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah on whether the former premier should apologise to court for his Facebook posting on July 15 defending his purchase of RM3.3 million jewellery in Italy which he allegedly claims is for an undisclosed royal family.
