Najib unwell, so 1MDB trial cut short

KUALA LUMPUR: The graft trial of Datuk Seri Najib Razak involving 1Malaysia Development Bhd at the High Court here was halted as the former prime minister was not well.

Justice Collin Lawrence Sequerah was informed by Kajang Prison medical officer Dr Mohd Hafiz Mohd Hoshni, who examined Najib, that the patient complained of a stomach ache and had to go to the toilet three times on Tuesday morning. "Najib looked weak, tired and dehydrated. I prescribed him oral rehydration salts," said Dr Mohd Hafiz.He was summoned to court during the RM2.28bil 1MDB trial to explain Najib's condition.

Proceedings had already started when DPP Ahmad Akram Gharib said he was informed of Najib's illness by prison authorities.The doctor, however, said it would not be possible as the medicine he prescribed may cause drowsiness and that Najib should rest for at least two days. Justice Sequerah said he would end the trial earlier than usual and that the hearing would continue on Wednesday .Najib, 70, is on trial for 25 charges in total: four for abuse of power that allegedly brought him the financial benefit to the tune of RM2.28bil; and 21 for money laundering involving the same amount of money.
