The 1MDB corruption trial involving Malaysia’s former prime minister Najib Razak was cut short on April 2 after the latter was pronounced as having diarrhoea. Accompanying prison doctor Hafiz Hozni told the court that the 70-year-old said during recess that he had gone to the toilet three times. “I am only allowing the trial to be cut short today. He needs to be in court tomorrow,” said High Court’s Justice Collin Lawrence Sequerah.

“I have examined him and given him some medication. He is dehydrated and suffering from fatigue,” said Dr Hafiz, adding that Najib would be unfit for trial the rest of the day as the medicine would make him drowsy. The doctor also requested that Najib be exempted from the hearing on the following day but that got turned down.
