KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Razak has failed to recuse Justice Collin Lawrence Sequerah from presiding over his RM2.28bil 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) trial after the former prime minister’s recusal application was dismissed.

Justice Sequerah, in his decision, said Najib did not succeed in proving the burden of real danger of bias.
