The much-anticipated 1MDB trial implicating Malaysia’s former prime minister Najib Razak, who is accused of obtaining gratification totalling about RM2.3 billion (S$763 million) while in office, has been postponed to next Monday.

This is to allow for the completion of another hearing involving SRC International, a former subsidiary of state investment firm 1MDB (1Malaysia Development Berhad).

Judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah granted the prosecution’s request for a delay at the Kuala Lumpur High Court yesterday.
