Najib asked to leave courtroom for Rosmah's bribery trial


KUALA LUMPUR: Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak was asked to leave the courtroom, where his wife was facing a graft trial after the prosecution objected to his presence at the High Court here.

High Court judge Justice Mohamed Zaini Mazlan made the ruling early on during Thursday's (Feb 6) proceedings despite protests from Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor's defense team, who argued that Najib was doing what "every good husband" would do by being there for his wife.
