PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Seri Najib Razak's application to adduce fresh evidence on trial judge Justice Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali is "flawed and self-serving", says the prosecution.

Lead prosecutor Datuk V. Sithambaram, in his submission, said Najib's application was self-serving as it was made and filed, yet none of the five witnesses who supposedly supported the evidence was putting their neck out by signing affidavits.
