Proceedings resume
9.36am - Najib enters the dock as proceedings resume for the cross-examination of Amhari Efendi Nazaruddin by the defence.
9.29am - Najib Abdul Razak enters the court and takes a seat at the front row of the public gallery to await proceedings to begin.
More revelations expected in defence's cross-examination of Amhari
Former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak's defence team is expected to grill his former special officer Amhari Efendi Nazaruddin today over the role that wanted businessperson Low Taek Jho, or Jho Low, played in the Terengganu Investment Authority (TIA) before it transformed into 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB).
This may be elicited from the pattern of cross-examination that the former prime minister's lead defence counsel Muhammad Shafee Abdullah had subjected the eighth defence witness Amhari yesterday.
During the proceedings in the Kuala Lumpur High Court yesterday, Shafee's questioning yielded revelations that Jho Low had eyed petroleum investment in Terengganu as far back as 2008 and that the fugitive financier had attended TIA meetings in 2009, among others.
The proceedings before judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah is expected to begin around 9.15am.
