Apex court may rule in Najib's case even without submissions, say lawyers


KUALA LUMPUR: There is uncertainty about what will happen in Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's final appeal over the SRC International Sdn Bhd case following his lawyer’s refusal to make any submissions to defend the former prime minister.

On Friday (Aug 19), Najib’s lead counsel Hisyam Teh Poh Teik informed a five-member bench of the Federal Court led by Chief Justice Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat that he would also not even present oral submissions for his client.
