High Court Judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah said he found no reason to take any action against the former prime minister after hearing explanation over what had happened.
At the onset of the hearing today, lead prosecutor Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram said he had been instructed by the Attorney General’s Chamber to raise the issue of Najib’s presence in Tanjung Piai one day after going on MC.“This is not the first time such a thing has happened. Previously he attended an Umno-PAS gathering at the Putra World Trade Centre after missing court,” he said.
However, Shafee rebutted Sri Ram’s argument by saying that he was disappointed with the AG’s instruction to the prosecution team. “The doctor who gave the MC complied with the medical act... my client was not fit to attend court and he got the MC. Moreover, there was no reason for him to skip just one and a half hours which had been allocated last Thursday,” he said.
On the police report which had been lodged, he said it was done by an"anti Najib person" who had also failed to do his homework.
