00:00 The 1MDB documentary currently streamed on Netflix is prejudicial, according to lawyers

00:07 for Najib Raza.

00:08 The former Prime Minister is currently standing trial for money laundering and abuse of power

00:13 charges over alleged 1MDB funds amounting to 2.28 billion ringgit.

00:20 Shafi Abdullah told High Court Judge Colin Lawrence-Sakira that the documentary, titled

00:25 Man on the Run, treats Najib with extreme contempt.

00:29 And then directed by Cassius Michael Kim, the documentary revolves around the role of

00:34 fugitive businessman Loh Thich Juc in 1MDB.

00:38 Shafi said the documentary claimed that Loh aided and abetted by politicians and stole

00:44 large sums of money from 1MDB.

00:47 He also said former Attorney General Tommy Thomas made conclusions from outside the court,

00:53 which was featured on the show.

00:55 The documentary also contained interviews with former U.S. Ambassador to Malaysia John

01:00 Mallad and Sarawak Report editor Claire Reucassel-Brown.

01:05 Shafi said he would be asking the government to demand that Netflix take down the documentary

01:10 and is considering action against Thomas and Reucassel-Brown over their statements.
