Police will initiate an investigation after an ex-aide of Najib Abdul Razak uploaded video clips of the former premier’s ongoing court trial onto social media.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Mazlan Lazim said police had yet to receive a police report on the matter, and therefore will be lodging their own in order to commence an investigation.
“We will investigate first to determine what offence has been committed, before proceeding with further investigation,” he was quoted as saying by Berita Harian.
Yesterday, Hizatul Isham Abdul Jalil uploaded video clips of the trial showing two witnesses testifying in court.
The witnesses were involved in constructing a new guard post and water tank at Najib’s Jalan Langgak Duta residence.
In his post, Hizatul Isham claimed there were “problems” with the prosecution’s theory that Najib had used state-owned SRC International Sdn Bhd’s funds for his personal benefit.
He also claimed the prosecution could not prove that Najib ordered SRC International to deposit funds into his personal bank account through two intermediaries.
“Perhaps that is why the prosecution is trying to shift the attention to show that Najib is supposedly using SRC funds to renovate his home, and had used them for his personal benefit, instead of showing that he had ordered SRC International to deposit money into his own account for that purpose,” he said.
Hizatul Isham said the renovations were a necessity, as Najib received many visitors at the Langgak Duta home.
The recording showed witnesses being questioned by Najib’s lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah. The witnesses had said that the renovations were necessary.
Hizatul Isham also defended uploading the videos, stating that court rules prohibited live streaming of the proceedings or personal recordings.
He said the uploaded videos were neither of the above, as they were taken from the court’s own Court Recording and Transcript (CRT) system.

KUALA LUMPUR: A former special officer of Datuk Seri Najib Razak has landed himself in trouble after a video recording of the proceedings of his former boss at the Kuala Lumpur High Court was uploaded on his Facebook page.
The CCTV recording of the proceedings were uploaded on Isham Jalil’s Facebook page and has been viewed 189,000 times, attracted 1,700 comments and 3,200 shares as at 9pm.
The recording was uploaded under the title “Hari Kelima Perbicaraan Dato’ Seri Najib” (the fifth day of Datuk Seri Najib trial).
Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) legal bureau committee member Saiful Ambar Abdullah Ambar said a police report would be lodged over the matter.
He said the uploading of the CCTV recording and comments posted by Isham were clearly against the law and a clear act of contempt of court as the trial was ongoing.
“I believe the recording can only be obtained by certain parties allowed by the courts on strict conditions.
“It cannot be distributed, copied or uploaded in any form on any platform,” he said in a statement.
Saiful also pointed out that Isham had seemingly warned the court by posting that it would set a bad precedent if Najib was found guilty.
This is clearly contempt of court.
“I would like to advise Isham to stop acting as Najib’s lawyer outside the court.
“He should just let the learned defence counsels who were appointed by Najib to handle the case.”
Najib had previously said his trial should be broadcast live but this was rejected.
The former prime minister is on trial for misuse of RM42 million of SRC International Sdn Bhd funds.
The trial will resume on Monday after it was adjourned yesterday.
