The Kuala Lumpur High Court has ruled out conducting a hybrid online trial for Najib Abdul Razak’s RM2.28 billion 1MDB corruption case.

However, judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah said that the court does not rule out the possibility of doing so in the future.

The judge made the ruling this morning over the prosecution’s application for the former prime minister's case to be conducted via hybrid online proceedings due to the accused not being allowed into court over his yellow MySejahtera status.
