PUTRAJAYA: Najib Razak, who is facing seven charges in relation to the SRC International trial, should have been given a discharge not amounting to an acquittal when the attorney-general withdrew his transfer certificate in the High Court recently, the Federal Court heard today.
On Feb 7, High Court judge Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali allowed the AG, who is also the public prosecutor, to withdraw his certificate to transfer the charges faced by Najib from the High Court to the Sessions Court. He also said there was also a breach of natural justice when Nazlan refused to adjourn the case for the defence to rebut the AG’s sudden application to withdraw his transfer certificate.
In the past, the prosecution would just issue a certificate before a subordinate court judge to have public interest cases transferred to a High Court, an action seen as the executive interfering in the judicial power of the courts. “If the AG can institute, conduct and discontinue criminal trials, then it is also implied that he can withdraw the certificate,” he said.
He is also accused of abusing his power as prime minister by giving government guarantees on SRC International’s RM4 billion loan from Retirement Fund Inc.

Looks like Najib is not given a proper and fair trial. He's charged purely on political grounds. I did not vote for PH for this kind of BS.
