KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The High Court here postponed to next week its decision on Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's application to strike out the charge of tampering with the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) final audit report.

The former prime minister is facing the charge along with 1MDB former chief executive officer Arul Kanda Kandasamy.

Najib, 67, applied to be acquitted and discharged from the charge of tampering with the 1MDB Audit Report charge as he claimed the charge was groundless and oppressive. The Pekan MP is on trial with using his position to order amendments to the 1MDB final audit report that had already been"finalised” by Auditor-General, before it was"finalised again” and presented before the Public Accounts Committee to avoid any action being taken against him.
