Najib should face reality that the end is near for him. The constant postponing of his case actually makes matters a lot worse because people are really fed up with his shenanigans.

The fact that his new lawyer is saying he's totally innocent when he's reported to have hundreds of millions in his account really takes the cake. Enough is enough.

Malaysiakini : ‘I hope Zaid is being sufficiently ‘reimbursed’ for his effort.’

Federal Court rejects bid to postpone Najib's SRC appeal

Vijay47: This decision by the Federal Court not to postpone the hearing of former premier Najib Abdul Razak's final appeal against his conviction in the SRC International corruption case was a foregone conclusion.

For sure, lawyer Zaid Ibrahim, you can try but can’t win. Or as they may say of your client, you can run but you can’t hide.  Whatever made you adopt this bird-brained gambit of seeking postponement on the grounds you were just appointed as counsel?

Alright, maybe you are not as brainy as Najib’s earlier counsel Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, nobody is, but surely even you with your long years as a lawyer would have known ab initio, as you lawyers love to say, that the application was doomed to failure.

And in the process, what did you gain? Zilch. But you did suffer great damage to what remained of your image, earned the contempt of almost every person in town, and possibly invited the wrath of the court.

I hope you are being sufficiently “reimbursed” for your efforts.

Dr Raman Letchumanan: Just as I predicted, the Federal Court has dismissed the request for postponement. Najib, your best course of action is to bring in the hotshot lawyer team into this team or vice-versa.

You then have the best team in the world to bring in a new perspective and the momentum as well as the gallantry exhibited by the hotshot lawyer. The Federal Court cannot deny you this right to have any number of counsels.

But, if I may advise you, please don't make a pretence that everybody fooled you, and whack the High Court and Court of Appeal lawyers again. All this advice is pro-bono, out of goodwill.

Frankly, I would have given you better advice, but you are busy advising everybody else. I understand the notice of appeal filed had 94 grounds, so you have a very good chance that at least one will stick. I wonder who made that illuminating suggestion to change lawyers, Zaid or Shafee?
