KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The High Court in Datuk Seri Najib Razak's 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) trial has held that it will not tolerate any attempt to mislead it following Najib’s attendance at the Tanjung Piai by-election nomination process despite getting a one-day medical leave from attending the trial.
Judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah made the reminder following an application by lead prosecutor Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram for the court for a sanction to be imposed on the former premier.
Earlier, Sri Ram pointed out that the prosecution had received instructions from Attorney-General Tan Sri Tommy Thomas to seek for the court to impose sanctions on Najib via a way of restricting him within the Federal Territory and to report to the police station closest to his house every Saturday from 9am.
“We submit the accused is using his MC as abuse to obtain adjournment and prolong the trial. There must be sanction on this utter contempt for court proceedings, ” Sri Ram said. He also challenged the person who lodged the police report to be brave enough to come before this court and lodge the complaint.
