PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak was not put at a disadvantage in his SRC International Sdn Bhd’s trial when the Kuala Lumpur High Court Judge Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali provided only key points when he ordered the former premier to enter his defence, the Court of Appeal was told today.
Ad hoc prosecutor Datuk V. Sithambaram explained that under the law, a trial judge was not required to give a reason in his oral ruling when he found the prosecution has established a prima case and then ordered the accused to enter a defence.

PUTRAJAYA: Ad hoc prosecutor Datuk V. Sithambaram told the Court of Appeal today that the defence’s argument on the use of forged or cut and paste signatures by two SRC International Sdn Bhd directors to remit RM42 million into Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s (pix) personal accounts was not an issue in the case.
He said if at all there was a dispute, it was between the company and the bank, not Najib.
The defence are merely busybodies. Najib has no privity of contract with the bank. The issue of forged or unauthorised scan and electronic transfer is a non-starter, especially for the criminal breach of trust charges.

KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court has fixed May 31 to hear two discovery applications by Datuk Seri Najib Razak in his bid to obtain 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB)-linked documents involving investment bank Goldman Sachs and Tan Sri Zeti Akhtar Aziz.
The former prime minister had filed the first of the two applications on March 24.
That notice of motion was to compel the prosecution in his RM2.28bil 1MDB trial to disclose banking documents linked to Zeti, the former Bank Negara governor, on claims that her family allegedly received monies from fugitive financier Low Taek Jho, also known as Jho Low.
