[KiniNews] For ex-premier Najib Abdul Razak to redeem himself in court, it all hinges on comprehensive evidence, not sentiment, said former attorney-general Abu Talib Othman.

He said Najib still has an opportunity to clear himself of charges of misappropriating 1MDB funds when he gives his sworn testimony on Dec 2, but this depends on whether the evidence he presented is genuine..

“This is Najib’s chance to provide his testimony and defend himself if he believes there are facts that can support his position," he said.

Meanwhile, in a separate story, Zaid Ibrahim, who is an Umno member, has claimed that Umno has abandoned Najib.
