The 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB)-Tanore trial was vacated on Tuesday (Sept 13), as former premier Datuk Seri Najib Razak was hospitalised.

He could face a fine and up to 20 years’ imprisonment if convicted. Noor Hisham explained that the Ministry of Health is "committed and transparent in providing health services to any individual", but the ministry had to adhere to patient confidentiality. "He (Najib) is currently warded at [Hospital Kuala Lumpur or HKL]. I was told as of this morning, at 7.30am and 9.30am, the likelihood of certain tests performed on him may take him a few more days. Proceedings were also cut short on Monday, after lead prosecutor Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram informed the court that Najib was "adversely impacted" by a change in his blood pressure medication, and therefore needed to seek urgent medical attention. Speaking to the press later, Shafee said Najib is experiencing fluctuation in blood pressure for no apparent reason, and the cause is being determined.
