Kuala Lumpur: Former prime minister Najib Razak has again failed to delay his 1MDB trial after the Court of Appeal rejected his stay application.
A three-member bench chaired by Justice Hadhariah Syed Ismail said they agreed with deputy public prosecutor Kamal Baharin Omar that there were no special circumstances to warrant suspending the trial.“We also disagree with the counsel that Najib’s appeal to recuse the trial judge will be rendered nugatory if the stay is not granted,” said Hadhariah, who sat with Justices Ahmad Zaidi Ibrahim and SM Komathy Suppiah.
