Deutsche Bank Malaysia Bhd (DBMB) was pressured to accelerate a US$1 billion remittance order to meet former prime minister Najib Razak’s deadline, a banker told the Kuala Lumpur High Court today.

Jacqueline Ho Yek Wan, the former managing director at DBMB, said Casey Tang, the former executive director of 1MDB, had told her that the remittance had to be done by 4pm on September 30, 2009.

She was informed that the matter was important as it was part of a government-to-government deal that Najib was going to announce in a press conference.
