Najib should have been given more time to prepare for appeal, says Sabah Umno Youth


KOTA KINABALU: The Federal Court should have granted Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s application to adjourn his final appeal for three to four months so that his defence team could adduce fresh evidence in the case, says an Umno youth leader.

Sabah Umno Youth chief Abdul Aziz Julkarnain said that without disrespecting the court’s decision, the former prime minister should have been allowed adjournment.
