On trial for corruption that includes the multi-billion dollar 1MDB fraud, former Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak said on Wednesday that the fall of the government that ousted him meant he now expected an atmosphere more conducive to a fair hearing.
"I would expect that the atmosphere would be more conducive towards a fair trial," Najib told Reuters in an interview at his mansion in an affluent neighbourhood of Kuala Lumpur before heading to his latest court appearance.
"I'm not alluding to anything, because there's no conclusion to the trial... But hopefully, you know, I will get a fair trial," he said.
