KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 4 — Datuk Seri Najib Razak's lawyers should not seek to defend him in the 1Malaysia Development Berhad trial by attacking the prosecution through statements to the media, but should instead defend him in the actual trial in court, the prosecution said today.

Sri Ram said this was unfair as the prosecution — which conducts the 1MDB trial in court instead of through the media — could not be making a response in public. As for the three letters purportedly by an alleged Saudi prince Saud Abdulaziz Al-Saud which Najib's lawyers had been showing the High Court in the 1MDB trial of purported promises of hundreds of millions of US dollars as a “gift” to Najib, Sri Ram said these same letters had been rejected by all three tiers of the court in the SRC case against Najib.

While saying that this is not the juncture where he would seek a High Court decision on the matter as it requires mature consideration and substantial arguments, Sri Ram fired a stern warning to Najib's lawyers. But Wan Aizuddin also made an immediate response regarding the purported Saudi prince's letters with the aim to not have the 1MDB trial judge Datuk Collin Lawrence Sequerah's mind"to be polluted" by Sri Ram's remarks in relation to the SRC case.
