Court of Appeal judge Abdul Karim Abdul Jalil in Najib Abdul Razak’s SRC case from Kuala Lumpur High Court to Court of Appeal says the latter abused power in the case and in a unanimous ruling says that trial judge did not commit misdirection in ordering Najib to enter defence to all seven charges in the SRC corruption trial.
Karim also rules that the bench agrees with the trial judge’s finding that Najib as then-premier had a personal interest for the cabinet to approve a government guarantee for RM4 billion from KWAP (Retirement Fund Inc) to SRC.
He also says Naji’sb action in relating to the RM4 billion loan to SRC was not for national interest but for personal benefit and was rather a national embarrassment.
