Judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah made the reminder following an application by lead prosecutor Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram for the court for a sanction to be imposed on the former premier. “We submit the accused is using his MC (medical cert) as abuse to obtain adjournment and prolong the trial. There must be sanction on this utter contempt for court proceedings, ” Sri Ram said. He also challenged the person who lodged the police report to be brave enough to come before this court and lodge the complaint. Najib, 66, faces four charges of using his position to obtain bribes totalling RM2.3bil from 1MDB funds and 21 charges of money laundering involving the same amount.
