Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak arrives for his trial at the High Court in Kuala Lumpur on Nov 18, 2019. — AFPThe joint trial of Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak and former 1Malaysia Development Berhad chief executive officer Arul Kanda Kandasamy over alleged tampering of the 1MDB final audit report commenced today after the High Court here rejected the former premier’s application to postpone the trial.
Najib’s application, however, had been objected by Arul Kanda who urged the court to look at the interest of all the accused persons, not just one accused, and asked the court to proceed with the trial as he wanted to be given an opportunity to vindicate himself. On Jan 4 this year, the sessions court granted the prosecution’s application for the cases involving Najib and Arul Kanda to be heard together.
