KUALA LUMPUR - The corruption trial of former Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak is expected to start on Wednesday despite a last-minute attempt by him to postpone the proceeding.
The Kuala Lumpur Court Complex is expected to be swarmed by local and international media for the trial. Universiti Malaya political analyst Dr Muhammad Asri Mohd Ali said sympathy or support for Najib could grow if the public perceived that the prosecution had not presented enough evidence during the trial.
The trial was originally slated on Feb 12 but was postponed because of appeals over procedural matters raised in pre-trial hearings.However, Najib filed a judicial review on Monday against the decision not to grant him a stay on the upcoming proceeding. Despite this, the trial is expected to proceed. It is learned that the prosecution has 63 witnesses in its list so far.
