00:00Amno President Datuk Shri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the High Court's decision for Datuk
00:06Shri Najib Razak to enter his defence in the 1MDB corruption case presents an opportunity
00:12for the former party president to prove his innocence.
00:16He said Amno and Barisan National will continue to provide moral support for Najib as they
00:21believe the former Prime Minister is on the right side of the law.
00:25He said they will continue to ensure Najib receives justice and pray that those behind
00:30the 1MDB scandal are brought to justice.
00:35He said his statement is not aimed at questioning the court's decision.
00:39Amno has been lobbying for a royal pardon for Najib since his conviction in the SRC
00:45International Graph case in July 2020.
00:49On Wednesday, the Kuala Lumpur High Court ruled that the prosecution proved a Prima
00:54Fasih case against Najib in the 1MDB case.
00:58In its 41-page summary judgment, the court said Najib was willfully blind to his failure
01:04to inquire into the origin of the 1MDB funds.
01:08The court said given the substantial sums deposited into his bank account, it was Najib's
01:13responsibility to take reasonable steps to determine if the funds were proceeds from
01:18unlawful activity.
