Filepix taken on July 15 shows Former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak leaving the Kuala Lumpur High Court — Reuters, who is facing 25 corruption and money laundering charges involving RM2.28 billion of 1Malaysia Development Berhad ’s funds, will commence on Aug 19 as fixed earlier.

Sequerah had earlier set Aug 19 to 29; the month of September and October except for Fridays; and the first two weeks of November for Najib’s 1MDB trial. “I do not find any reason for the adjournment. The trial dates as fixed earlier are maintained. So, I dismiss the motion brought by the prosecution,“ he said, noting that it had been almost a year since Najib was charged in Sept 2018.

Justice Sequerah made his ruling after hearing submissions by Attorney-General Tommy Thomas who is lead prosecutor in Najib’s SRC trial and Najib’s lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah.
