The 70-year old lived up to his reputation when he was cross-examined by senior counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah in the 1Malaysia Development Bhd audit tampering trial today.
At one point when Shafee asked him if he had taken down down notes during a meeting with former chief secretary Tan Sri Ali Hamsa where the controversial decision to rework the 1MDB audit report was taken, Ambrin replied in the affirmative.Shafee: But you said you took down notes, right?"Here...in my head," Ambrin replied, while tapping his head with his finger.
The lawyer pointed out a portion of the recording where someone could be heard laughing loudly as the discussions were going on. Ambrin did not respond to Shafee's explanation before another lawyer, Datuk N Sivananthan - who is representing former 1MDB chief executive Arul Kanda Kandasamy, started cross-examining him.
