KUALA LUMPUR: The 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) audit tampering trial has been vacated for the day as Datuk Seri Najib Razak's lead counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah is unwell.

The High Court was informed by co-counsel Rahmat Hazlan on Monday that Muhammad Shafee is down with a high fever and a sore throat.Justice Mohamed Zaini Mazlan, who looked rather amused with the description, jokingly said the James Bond actor was not a good reference as he had passed.Justice Mohamed Zaini then allowed the postponement.

Today was initially scheduled for a hearing of an application by the prosecution under Section 63 of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 to call former 1MDB CEO Arul Kanda Kandasamy to testify against Najib. The section states that in a situation where two or more people are charged with an offence under this same law, the court may require one or more of them to give evidence as witnesses for the prosecution if a written application is made by the public prosecutor.

The 69-year-old former Prime Minister is accused of abusing his position to order amendments to the 1MDB final audit report to avoid any action being taken against him while Arul Kanda, 46, is accused of abetting Najib in making the amendments. Both men are charged under Section 23 of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009, which provides a jail term of up to 20 years and a fine of no less than five times the amount of gratification or RM10,000, whichever is higher, upon conviction.

Selalu 'unwell', mampus sekali la. Buat orang susah

…And behaves like Tom Hiddleston in Loki. But I’m probably slandering Loki ….😆

I hope the delays what with being a Close Contact, bitten by a dog, sounding like Sean Connery and having to attend an overseas “event” are also prevalent with other criminal cases in Malaysia; otherwise it’s all very dubious.

Apabila nak start trial, pelbagai penyakit akan keluar! Pengecut betul lawyer Pencuri Besar Malaysia aka Najib ni. Jangan jadi pengecut NajibRazak

Sean Connery must be turning in his grave knowing a Rogue having his voice .... what sort of lame excuses you can hear these days from councils ..... what a Disgrace

🐓🐓

Sean Connery died shortly after unwell. Is he to follow suit?

Sean Connery passed away already yeah.... 🤦‍♂️

It look he may take longer, sick leave court case can dragging more excuses nowdays ..

The amount of times he's unwell and sick, one would've thought he'd be dead by now.

These people are making mockery of our jurisdiction systems🤣🤣🤣
