The government will know on Nov 8 whether it succeeds in its 1MDB-linked forfeiture suit against former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak and 17 others.

The Kuala Lumpur High Court this morning fixed the date to deliver its decision on the lawsuit against Najib, several members of his family, and other individuals and entities.

Judge Mohamed Zaini Mazlan set the decision date following a final submission from deputy public prosecutor Harris Ong Mohd Jeffrey Ong today.
