00:00Former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's defence trial in the 2.28 billion ringgit
00:081MDB case is scheduled to begin at the High Court on December 2.
00:15The court has fixed a 97-day hearing, with the date spread through December and the entire
00:20next year, for Najib to answer the charges against him.
00:25Najib's counsel, Tansri Mohamad Shafay Abdullah, said the defence is expected to call at least
00:3011 witnesses.
00:31There are some witnesses that will be put on a witness statement.
00:38Like Datuk Seri Najib, we are trying to put it on a witness statement.
00:41But there are some other witnesses that will be subpoenaed.
00:44That means they are forced to come.
00:47Those witnesses will be witnesses that will be a free fall.
00:51That means you ask questions, he answers impromptu.
00:54The Kuala Lumpur High Court ruled on Wednesday that prosecutors had established a case against
00:59Najib on four charges of abuse of power and 21 charges of money laundering.
01:05Judge Colin Lawrence Sequeira said the charges filed against Najib were valid and correct
01:10in law, and found all prosecution witnesses to be credible.
01:14Prosecutors had called on 50 witnesses to give evidence, including former central bank
01:19Governor Tansri Zeti Akhtar Aziz.
