Azmin's comments come after Najib's gleeful claim yesterday that the current government had miscalculated figures in the Shared Prosperity Vision 2030 roadmap.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 6 — Datuk Seri Najib Razak should not attempt to shift the public’s focus from his ongoing corruption trial over 1Malaysia Development Berhad's funds, Economic Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali said today.

Azmin's comments come after he pointed out Najib's “confusion,” referring to Najib's gleeful claim yesterday that the current ruling government had miscalculated figures in the Shared Prosperity Vision 2030 roadmap that was launched yesterday. Najib's first criminal case involving RM42 million of 1MDB's former subsidiary SRC International Sdn Bhd's funds has gone on trial, with the former prime minister to know next month if he has to enter his defence in court.

Najib's 1MDB trial involves 25 criminal charges — four counts of abusing his position for his own financial benefit totalling almost RM2.3 billion allegedly originating from 1MDB and the resulting 21 counts of money-laundering.
