Najib’s lawyer down with Covid-19, case postponed

KUALA LUMPUR: The hearing for an application by the prosecution to call former 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) CEO Arul Kanda Kandasamy to testify against Datuk Seri Najib Razak has been rescheduled again to June 14.

The postponement was due to the former prime minister’s lead counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah testing positive for Covid-19, rendering him unable to argue his submissions in the application.
