KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's application to call an Australian handwriting expert to examine his signatures on several SRC International Sdn Bhd related documents to establish authenticity is just a "tactical manoeuvre", the High Court was told on Monday (Jan 20).
Ad-hoc prosecutor Datuk V. Sithambaram said that the act of the applicant (Najib) in waiting until this late stage of the trial to seek verification from a document examiner clearly showed that the application was an afterthought and a tactical manoeuvre to delay proceedings and put the prosecution at a procedural disadvantage to face the defence's case.
