1MDB trial can’t go on as Najib still on MC tomorrow; lawyer says blood pressure back down after switch from generic medicine

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 14 — Datuk Seri Najib Razak is still on sick leave until tomorrow as he remains in Hospital Kuala Lumpur , which means the High Court will again have to postpone the hearing of the former prime minister’s ongoing trial for the misappropriation of RM2.28 billion of 1Malaysia Development Berhad’s funds.

“But Yang Arif, having spoken to my client, he said he’s not surprised if he remains in the hospital even over the weekend, he said he’s not surprised, because of the number of tests that have been done. “But recently as Yang Arif knows, because he complained of discomfort in his abdomen area, they found numerous ulcers, and some of these ulcers apparently when touched, it bleeds. I think for that reason he is being tested to ensure that the blood pressure has got nothing to do with that, but perhaps a mere confusion of medicine.

Lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah at the Kuala Lumpur Court Complex, September 14, 2022. — Picture Bby Sayuti Zainudin Shafee said Najib’s blood pressure level has since come down after he switched back to his original hypertension medicine and was 117/84 this morning and around 124/84 or 124/85 this afternoon. Shafee said his client’s blood pressure was still fluctuating, and that Najib’s normal blood pressure level should be 110/80.

“Because his condition, they didn’t want to take a risk, he’s not the first person who required from the prison a specialist treatment, it all depends on what is your problem, if your problem is serious, then you have to look for a specialist,” he said. Shafee had yesterday indicated it was uncertain how many days would be required to run tests on Najib, also explaining that the reason for his client’s fluctuating blood pressure had yet to be identified.
