Najib's lawyers tell court news coverage is 'lop-sided'


KUALA LUMPUR: The press covering Datuk Seri Najib Razak's 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) trial was the subject of a complaint by the former prime minister's defence team for its "lopsided reporting" on the corruption case.

Najib's lead counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah aired his grievances at the High Court here on Wednesday (Jan 24) over media reports on the trial, particularly an online news report titled "Najib denied 1MDB CEO access to US$3bil in funds, court told".
