KONTAN.CO.ID - KUALA LUMPUR. Former Malaysia premier Najib Razak said on Thursday his right to a fair trial was at risk in his appeal against a 12 year jail sentence linked to the 1MDB scandal, after the country's top court denied a request by his lawyers to withdraw.

Najib, 69, who was convicted in July 2020, replaced his legal team just three weeks before his final appeal at the Federal Court began on Monday.
