He said former 1MDB CEO Mohd Hazem Abd Rahman, who is the 10th prosecution witness, would continue his testimony on the stand.
The trial was put on hold as Najib's appeal against his conviction and sentence in the SRC International case was being heard at the Court of Appeal beginning April 5.

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.

KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s conflict of interest over 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) was never raised in Cabinet meetings despite him chairing discussions involving the sovereign wealth fund, the High Court here has been told.
Former deputy chief secretary to the Cabinet Tan Sri Mazidah Abdul Majid, who was testifying in the 1MDB trial yesterday, agreed to the suggestion by lead counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah that nobody had voiced out any concern about Najib’s presence in the meetings discussing 1MDB matters.
Shafee had referred the witness to the Code of Ethics for Members of Administration and Members of Parliament where it stated that Cabinet members who have personal interest in matters which are of conflict with government interest, especially if it involves a family member, must leave the meeting and the absence shall be recorded.
