  • 2 years ago
Najib Abdul Razak was warded at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital (HKL) yesterday due to a blood pressure-related condition.

As a result, the former prime minister’s RM2.28 billion 1MDB corruption trial this morning before the Kuala Lumpur High Court has been vacated.

During open-court proceedings before trial judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah, lead defence counsel Muhammad Shafee Abdullah confirmed that the former finance minister was hospitalised.

Najib's special officer Muhamad Mukhlis Maghribi revealed that doctors at HKL performed a scope on the former premier and discovered multiple new ulcers, a recurring problem since 15 years ago.

He said the doctors also performed a biopsy which led to some bleeding and several ulcers had to be clipped to stop the bleeding.
