Najib's Defence Begins: Court Orders Ex-PM to Face Corruption Charges

The wait is finally over! After years of legal battles and political drama, former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak has been ordered to enter his defence in the 1MDB corruption trial. This is a HUGE deal, folks. It means the court believes there's enough evidence to warrant a full-blown defence from Najib.

So, what's the deal with this 1MDB scandal anyway?

In a nutshell, Najib's alleged involvement with 1MDB, a state-owned investment fund, is the biggest financial scandal in Malaysian history. The allegations? Billions of dollars went missing from the fund, with some of it allegedly ending up in Najib's personal accounts.

This trial has been a roller coaster ride: from Najib's arrest and subsequent release on bail, to the intense legal arguments and the constant media attention.

But here's the thing: the judge has ruled that the prosecution has presented enough evidence to establish a prima facie case against Najib. This means the burden of proof now shifts to the former PM to defend himself.

Will Najib take the stand? Will he call witnesses? Will he try to prove his innocence? Only time will tell.

This trial is about more than just Najib: it's about accountability, transparency, and the fight against corruption in Malaysia. The eyes of the world are on this trial, and every Malaysian is eagerly awaiting the outcome.

Stay tuned for more updates as this dramatic saga unfolds. It's going to be one heck of a ride.
