Najib Abdul Razak needed to see the doctor by 2pm this afternoon due to his health condition which was “quite bad”, the Kuala Lumpur High Court heard this morning.

Deputy public prosecutor Gopal Sri Ram informed trial judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah about the former prime minister’s health condition, which necessitated the accused’s RM2.28 billion 1MDB corruption trial to end earlier later today.

The DPP said a Kajang Prison officer had informed the prosecution that the matter was related to Najib’s blood pressure medication which has changed.
