: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s trial over the misappropriation of RM2.3 billion of 1Malaysia Development Berhad funds was cut short today as the former premier’s lead counsel, Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, is unwell.
Today’s proceedings started with senior deputy public prosecutor Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram submitting his arguments about why the prosecution should be allowed to play an audio recording between Najib and a Saudi royal as evidence in the trial. That is why the government introduced Section 41 of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 by way of amendments to avoid this consequence, he said.
He further submitted that the definition in the 1950 Act is not available for present purposes as the common law definition of a document is wide enough to house recordings and transcripts within it.
