KUALA LUMPUR: The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) trial involving Datuk Seri Najib Razak and former 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) CEO Arul Kanda Kandasamy has been postponed Monday (June 15) following one of the lawyers having to undergo a Covid-19 coronavirus test.
High Court judge Justice Mohamed Zaini Mazlan adjourned the trial pending the test result for one of the lawyers in Najib's defence team which is expected to be known on Tuesday at 10am.
Earlier, lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah informed the court that the lawyer had high fever and cough earlier in the morning and had his test taken at a clinic. The joint trial of Najib and Arul Kanda relating to the tampering of 1MDB final audit report was to resume on Monday. The trial, dubbed as the Public Accounts Committee or PAC trial, was last heard in the court in January.
Najib is accused of using his position to order amendments to the 1MDB final audit report before it was tabled to the PAC to avoid any action against him.Arul Kanda was charged with abetting Najib at the same place and time.
