If the then attorney-general in 2016 had exonerated Najib Abdul Razak of alleged wrongful monetary flows into the former premier’s Ambank accounts, why didn't he sue the bank and its relationship manager Joanna Yu Ging Ping then, a lawyer posed in the Kuala Lumpur High Court today.

Counsel for Yu (above) Gurdial Singh Nijar submitted this before the court this afternoon during the hearing for his client’s application to strike out Najib’s lawsuit against her for alleged mismanagement of his Ambank accounts.
