Former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak told the High Court in Kuala Lumpur today that he was not prepared to testify in the trial of Shahrir Samad, who is facing charges of failing to declare RM1 million allegedly received from him, without the presence of his lawyer.
Najib, 69, who is the prosecution's 23rd witness, said his lawyer, Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, could not be in court today as he was out of town.
"I request to testify on Jan 5 and at that time my lawyer (Shafee) will be present because it is important for my lawyer to be with me," said Najib, who was clad in a blue suit.
Deputy public prosecutor Rasyidah Murni Azmi requested the court to consider the matter.
