“Before I start, can I inform Yang Arif that my client has got an appointment to see the doctor from 11am onwards, because the doctor he wanted to see earlier in the morning was already in the operating theatre. He said Najib could not use the lunch break during the trial to see the doctor as the eye specialist clinic in Mid Valley is closed during that period.After brief arguments where lead prosecutor Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram argued that the law allows the trial to go on without Najib’s presence while Shafee disagreed, judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah decided to allow a break at 11.30am and to start earlier at 2pm and to extend hearing beyond 5pm.
