1MDB trial judge says he’s been patient with Najib’s lawyers, urges them to save court time as defence seems to be ‘going in circles’

KUALA LUMPUR, March 22 — Lawyers defending former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak over the alleged misappropriation of more than RM2 billion of 1Malaysia Development Berhad’s funds appear to be going in circles in the trial, High Court judge Datuk Collin Lawrence Sequerah remarked in today’s hearing.

Hariharan then sought to justify his questions to Ismee by saying that Najib’s lawyers wanted to show through this witness that Shahrol and former 1MDB official Casey Tang had taken intricate steps against the 1MDB board’s mandate, and argued that Shahrol had allegedly disputed many of the matters that Najib’s lawyers had asked of him.

Hariharan explained that all he wanted to show was how Shahrol and Casey had allegedly manipulated the whole scheme and how the 1MDB management had allegedly manipulated and deceived the 1MDB board, saying: “And we are asking the board’s comment and stand on it. That’s all I wanted to show --- independent person from the board.”

“I just want to save the time of the court, it’s a total waste of exercise of materials before this court,” Sri Ram said. In response to the judge saying that Ismee may not be in a position to confirm matters asked, Shafee said: “If the witness is not in position, Yang Arif notice we won’t push him, but things he will be aware, we are hearing the perspective of a person who is not even close to having committed any wrong as opposed to Shahrol. As I have said over and over again, Shahrol should be charged, not the accused. We have to prove that particular point, that Shahrol is a character that cannot be believed.

Bakpo lah prosecution team tak garang2 time ni

Tuhan memerhati dan Maha teliti........kat dunia kau boleh kencing , depan Allah you are done!!

Enough being patient...u gave warning earlier but no improvement at all.. Faster do something legally

When the defence knew there’s nothing much they could do with a tight,thorough&solid prosecution case,this is what they could do…delay tactics,going in circle,coming up with cock&bull stories&excuses,knowing very well tt the accused’s case is nearing the end&incarceration looms!

Nampak sgt lawyer c penyamun tarbus dh abis idea ea… nk berlengah2 🤣🤪
