Najib given 2-day MC, still warded at HKL

  • 2 years ago
Former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak is on two-day medical leave and still warded at Kuala Lumpur Hospital (HKL) due to a blood pressure-related condition.

As a result, his RM2.28 billion 1MDB corruption trial before the Kuala Lumpur High Court would only resume on Sept 26.

During open-court mention of the case before trial judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah, lead defence counsel Muhammad Shafee Abdullah confirmed that the former finance minister was warded at HKL.
