He has also applied for a royal pardon from Malaysia’s King, which, if granted, would see him released without serving the full 12-year term. Najib had also sought, and failed to obtain, a review of the court’s decision to dismiss his attempt to postpone his appeal hearing, as well as its decision not to recuse Tun Tengku Maimun from the Federal Court appeal due to Facebook posts made by her husband in May 2018. Najib had sought a review of the Federal Court’s decision that affirmed his conviction and 12-year sentence for misappropriating RM42 million (S$12.7 million) from SRC International, a former 1MDB subsidiary, claiming that he was not given a fair hearing.

Judge dismissed Najib Razak's case review saying ex-PM was 'the author of his own misfortunes'.

Najib, who has been in prison since August, appeared dejected as the decision was read out. He lost all his appeals. He was found guilty by a high court in 2020 of criminal breach of trust, abuse of power and money laundering for illegally receiving about $10 million from SRC International, a former unit of 1MDB.

Former prime minister says he was not given a fair hearing and that the appeal's outcome was 'predetermined'.

A five-man bench delivered its decision in a 4-1 majority verdict, read out by Federal Court judge Vernon Ong Lam Kiat. Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak Abdul ...

The prosecution meanwhile argued that there had been no breach of natural justice, miscarriage of justice or abuse of the court process. Najib, who is currently serving a 12-year jail term at Kajang Prison, had sought to overturn the decision by a five-member Federal Court bench led by Chief Justice Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat on Aug 23 last year. The others on the bench were Federal Court judges Rhodzariah Bujang and Nordin Hassan and Court of Appeal judge Abu Bakar Jais.

Ad hoc prosecutor V Sithambaram hopes the apex court's decision would bring closure to the SRC International case.

The Federal Court says there was no denial of Najib's rights and no breach of natural justice.

Najib began his 12-year jail term at Kajang Prison that same day. However, here, it is clear that the applicant is the author of his own misfortune. "The applicant contends that his right had been breached. On Najib’s application to adduce new evidence on then High Court judge Mohd Nazlan Ghazali, Ong said the court agreed that the earlier Federal Court’s decision denying the request was made on the correct assessment of the evidence before it. He said the decision by Tengku Maimun not to recuse herself was supported by the other members of the panel in a separate judgment. "There was no denial of the applicant’s rights and there was no breach of natural justice in the case," he said.

A five-member Federal Court bench on Friday (March 31) has denied Datuk Seri Najib Razak's review application in the SRC International Sdn Bhd case.

The prosecution continued to submit for two days and as a result this could be considered as an ex-parte (one-sided) application whereas in an appeal, it should have been done inter-partes (both parties) with the appellant starting. “I am alarmed with the previous bench going ahead with the main appeal. The apex court only heard one side of the submission and this may lead to the situation to be compromised,” the judge said, adding that this has led to an injustice. “The procedural requirement is that the appellant (Najib) should be heard first but in this case the prosecution submitted. The panel unequivocally decided after considering the grounds set in the appeal,” he said. “There is no question of a quorum failure as alleged (due to the non-recusal) does not hold. Thus, there is no merit for a review of that decision,” the apex court judge added. Thus, there is no merit for a review,” the judge said. He was subsequently sentenced to 12 years' jail and a fine of RM210 million. In his judgement, the judge said Najib had told the bench on Aug 23 that he was not given the right to legal representation and due to the constraints imposed by the court, he was left unable to search for lawyers to represent him in the appeal. On the main matter regarding the conviction and sentence, Ong said the criticism by the defence is that there were no grounds in the written judgement, but the majority bench found that the earlier panel has considered the 94 grounds of appeal and the previous decisions of the courts properly. Abdul Rahman, who was the sole dissenting judge, ruled that the court was wrong in not allowing the adjournment, and in not allowing Hisyam to discharge himself as Najib's counsel.

Can Najib Abdul Razak mount a second review application to set aside his conviction and sentencing in the RM42 million SRC International corruption case?

Justice Rahman Sebli, in a minority judgment, said Najib Razak had been deprived of the right to be represented by an effective counsel.

PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Seri Najib Razak will stay in jail and only a Royal pardon can now see him leaving prison any time soon.

“We stress that Rule 137 should never be used to abuse the process of the court,” Justice Ong said. “Even if you are inclined to take a different view, we do not say we do or do not agree with the decisions – that is not the ground to review the impugned decisions,” he said. The panel was of the view that Najib’s application “did no more than challenge the merits of the Federal Court’s decisions”.

Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak Abdul Rahman Sebli says Najib Razak was 'at a great and substantial injustice'.

In the present case, the earlier panel denied the applicant the right to have effective counsel. "The previous panel said that it had given Najib’s counsel four months to prepare. Hence, the application for review for the adjournment must be granted," said Rahman. "This did not happen, the prosecution was allowed to submit for two full days… "The applicant (Najib) has the right to effective counsel. He was in a disadvantaged state, as he was not represented during the appeal.

KUALA LUMPUR, April 1 — Umno may likely strive to regain its strength with or without Datuk Seri Najib Razak, several political analysts have suggested ...

I see that Umno will have a positive fight and for the unity government as well, in the coming state elections,” Azmi said. “Today’s Umno was seen to no longer have the advantage or aura that other Malay parties do not have. So, they (unity government) both need each other to retain power,” Kartini said when contacted. “Majority of the candidates with important positions are all from Zahid’s camp, and they support Zahid. If Umno pulls their support, the unity government may be gone or no longer unify. So the results leaned positively towards Zahid which can be interpreted as a form of Najib’s influence.

Najib is not going home, and his daughter, Yana Najib took to her Instagram yesterday (March 31) to express her sadness about the verdict.

The previous panel of the Federal Court was likely to be unfair to Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak when it heard and dismissed his appeal against conviction and ...
