Mostly clad in black, some of the supporters were heard chanting "Hidup Bossku!"

Among the supporters is a group of Wanita Umno members from Najib's hometown of Pekan in Pahang.

Amnah Habi Mat Pian, 60, said the group travelled in four buses which left Pekan at midnight.

"We are Felda settlers and we fully support our Bossku. He has done so much for us and we hope he gets justice.

"If he goes to prison, it will be a sad day for us, but we will accept it as fate," she said.

The weather in Putrajaya is cold but there was no rain as of 9am.
