KUALA LUMPUR: The hearing for 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) corruption case involving former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and RM2.28bil at the High Court here has been postponed for the second time to give way to the hearing of his SRC International case.
The SRC trial, which is currently in its 12th day, is expected to continue until May 10.
Earlier, Justice Collin Lawrence Sequerah, who is presiding over the 1MDB case, warned both parties not to delay the case for the third time.
The judge ordered for the hearing to take place daily, starting Aug 19 until Nov 14, with the exception of Fridays.
