Najib's final SRC appeal: Apex court stands down to mull over new evidence bid

Chief Justice Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat, who is chairing a five-man panel, has retreated into chambers for deliberation together with the other judges.They are Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak Justice Abang Iskandar Abang Hashim, and Federal Court judges Justices Nallini Pathmanathan, Mary Lim Thiam Suan and Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah.

Najib's lead counsel Hisyam Teh Poh Teik, in concluding his submissions Tuesday morning, asked the court to allow the application as a show of the judiciary's strength. "We ask the court to allow the application, to allow these parts of the evidence to be brought in as additional evidence."It would demonstrate the strength of this court... that this court is prepared to step in when it is obvious to the eye there is injustice," he said.

Meanwhile, lead prosecutor Datuk V. Sithambaram reiterated that Najib's"fresh evidence" was indeed hearsay evidence."We ask the court to dismiss the application," he added.
