Najib's application to recuse Tengku Maimun was a desperate attempt to scuttle SRC trial, court told

Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

PUTRAJAYA: The application by Datuk Seri Najib Razak to recuse a judge over a Facebook post by her husband was a desperate, last-minute attempt to scuttle the SRC International Sdn Bhd appeal trial in 2022, says the prosecution.

Lead prosecutor Datuk V. Sithambaram said that the post by Datuk Zamani Ibrahim, husband of Chief Justice Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat, was a personal commentary on the political scenario leading up to 14th General Election four years ago and showed no personal animosity but rather a general comment by a Malaysian.
