Former premier Najib Abdul Razak was shocked with the Kuala Lumpur High Court's decision, according to his lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah.

He said the defence team was confident that Najib would be acquitted on all seven charges related to SRC International Sdn Bhd, instead of being ordered to enter his defence.

Earlier, Kuala Lumpur High Court judge Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali ordered Najib to enter his defence for one count of abusing his position for gratification, three counts of criminal breach of trust and three counts of money laundering.
