‘You are arrogant’, Najib’s lawyer tells Husni
- 2 years ago
Najib Abdul Razak’s 1MDB trial got off to a fiery start this morning with the former premier’s lead counsel and former finance minister II Ahmad Husni Mohamad Hanadzlah getting into a heated argument over how the latter dealt with documents related to 1MDB.
The exchange began when Ahmad Husni, the 20th prosecution witness repeatedly answered that all 1MDB documents were handled by Najib and he was just following orders, using the “Saya yang menurut perintah (I who follow orders)” phrase.
The veteran lawyer, Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, who was clearly irritated by the witness's answer, asked him to explain what he meant.
