KUALA LUMPUR: An unidentified man caused a stir at the Kuala Lumpur Court Complex here Thursday (Aug 25).
The man, who was in a black suit, had walked up to a group of media personnel who were covering Datuk Seri Najib Razak's RM2.28bil 1MDB trial and started yelling at them in the court lobby.
It is unclear whether he was a Najib supporter and also what he wanted to say as his screaming was incoherent.

Police then stepped in and escorted the man out.
The Kuala Lumpur Court was the centre of attention Thursday as Najib, sentenced to 12 years' imprisonment in the SRC International Sdn Bhd case, made his appearance for his 1MDB trial.
This is Najib's first appearance in court after being sent to prison on Tuesday (Aug 23) following the Federal Court's dismissal of his final appeal in the SRC International case.

On Tuesday, Najib became the first former prime minister in the country's history to be sent to prison after the Federal Court upheld the High Court's conviction and sentence.
On July 28, 2020, the Kuala Lumpur High Court sentenced Najib to 12 years in jail and a total fine of RM210mil after being found guilty of seven charges of criminal breach of trust, money laundering and abuse of position in the RM42mil SRC International case.
The verdict was then upheld by the Court of Appeal in December.
