NAJIB SRC TRIAL | Former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak should not be convicted based on the court of public opinion in his SRC International Sdn Bhd case, the High Court was told today.

Lawyer Farhan Read, in his submissions, explained how public opinion had linked Najib and SRC International with fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho or Jho Low and his lavish lifestyle, making it hard for the defence to find the needle of proof in the case.
