It is set to be a busy day for former first couple Najib Abdul Razak and wife Rosmah Mansor at the Kuala Lumpur Court Complex as both are set to make appearances in different courts.
Najib will be brought to the High Court for the case mention for his abuse of power, criminal breach of trust and money-laundering charges.
Rosmah, meanwhile, will be in court for the first time where she is expected to be slapped with some 17 money-laundering charges in relation to 1MDB.
Rosmah, who was detained last night at Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters after several hours of questioning, is set to be brought to the court complex at 8am.
Malaysiakini is bringing live the court proceedings inside and outside the court complex.
