Court to halt 1MDB trial briefly so Najib can see eye doctor



KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 18 — Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s 1MDB corruption trial at the High Court here will take an extended break later today to allow the former prime minister to seek medical attention for his eyes.

Najib’s lawyer, Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, told the High Court this morning that his client needed to see his ophthalmologist.

“Before I start, can I inform Yang Arif that my client has got an appointment to see the doctor from 11am onwards, because the doctor he wanted to see earlier in the morning was already in the operating theatre.

“This is because he is getting the same sort of symptoms that he had,” Shafee said, noting that Najib’s eyes were teary.

Shafee said Najib’s intention was to prevent a recurrence of the “full-blown conjunctivitis” that twice delayed his trials.

He said Najib could not use the lunch break during the trial to see the doctor as the eye specialist clinic in Mid Valley is closed during that period.

For Najib’s 1MDB trial, the court usually breaks at around 1pm before resuming hearing at 2.30pm.

After brief arguments where lead prosecutor Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram argued that the law allows the trial to go on without Najib’s presence while Shafee disagreed, judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah decided to allow a break at 11.30am and to start earlier at 2pm and to extend hearing beyond 5pm.

Najib’s conjunctivitis or eye infection previously caused the hearings in two separate cases be adjourned — three days in the first incident and two days in the latest — for medical reasons.

The most recent episode was last week in this trial, which Shafee had said might have been contributed to by haze. Najib was not present in court when his lawyer asked for a postponement that day.

With ex-PM back in court today, Shafee resumed cross-examining Najib’s former special officer Datuk Amhari Efendi Nazaruddin.

Amhari is the eighth prosecution witness in Najib’s ongoing 1MDB trial involving 25 criminal charges: four counts of abusing his position for his own financial benefit totalling almost RM2.3 billion allegedly originating from 1MDB and the resulting 21 counts of money-laundering.

might as well claim haze cause his eye problems worsening.

See I told you he use singapore NSmen excuses.
Kejap red eye la
Kejap gastric la

macam budak budak

other people ok...everyone else in court ok..only he got problem.. if this is not delay tactic, dunno what is...the judge should disallow it...!!

He should've consulted eye doctor long time ago, then he wouldn't have ended up with a hippo causing him all this mess

Deswai , don't stinge on healthcare. ..

next time court session bring ophthalmologist standby independant review.

Haze a legit reason now for MC..
I meant potong bawang, put in infront of fan, gosok2 sikit.. get mc and blame it due to haze..
Doctor wont know..
Chronic conjunctivitis as najib is a different story btw..

Bro, before she very beautiful!
Just that he didn't do psychological test

Takut apa bossku?

When attend outdoor event eye look ok je.

he looks fucking ok jer? what gives? pukima

This is a good sign.

Defense already resorting to bottom of the barrel tactics to disrupt and hopefully lessen the impact of all the incriminating evidence that is coming out.

will it work?

kimak nyer penyamun

Lel datang lagi keluar pattern

pakai eye drop with antibiotics enough right?

apa lagi mata bijan mau???

as always make stupid of our court. The judge should set a line to this. if not next he will inject himself with viral infection just to skip court.

Why doesn't the court allow proceeding to continue without Najib? It's not like he has to be there, no?

tiba tiba banyak penyakit lmao

The really cibai tactic is Shafee declaring that 1mdb is actually the Terengganu Sultan's idea even though his highness is not on trial and is not in court to defend himself from such allegation. Some more the Sultan pretty much pulled out early cos he also suspects something fishy.

This Shafee nak kena ni...

It is efendi questioning session kalau dia tak datang pun yak effect apa2 wut?

last weekend buat apa dengan MC tu?

kenapa x jumpa Specialist je last week

Gi himpunan outdoor boleh pulak

Gi mahkamah indoor x boleh??

Dasar bibir pink manja, pastu mengaku Bugis Warrior

Penyokong autistic man-child pun bersorak lagu kegembiraan mereka:

"MALUEEEE APEWWWW BOSSKUUUUEEE

BOSSSKUUUUUEEE BUKAN BISHE BISHE

BOSSSS KITEWWWW"

BUKAN BISHE BISHE KEPALA BAPAK KEPIT KAU

Cannot blame him.

he is doing his job as defense lawyer.

any less he will be considered negligent.

sometimes lawyer is really shit job.

Dia ni manyak keluarpattern

Out of all the days, he got issue with his eyes on court days.

eye checked? wish doctor diagnose him and result is he turning blind.. so i am will call him buta jib...

Some people believe that the reason why someone get red eye is because he/she saw something "dirty". Najib must have watched too much porn or he curi-curi intai Rosmah mandi!

Cibai delay tactic.

Yang hari-hari kau post kat media soSIAL waktu sakit mata, tuh siapa suruh?

i oso want legit MC as easy as dat, whenever i want. haiyaaaa jeles.

Whoever in charge seems to be very linient with him.

Postpone 1 day 3 day its ok..postpone manytime become annoying as.
