Malaysia’s former prime minister Najib Razak was brought by authorities to the Kuala Lumpur Courts Complex on Wednesday (4 July) morning to face charges arising from an investigation into SRC International, a former unit of the scandal-hit 1 Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) state fund.

The 64-year-old, who had spent a night in lock-up after being arrested by anti-graft officials the day before, appeared calm as media and onlookers jostled to capture his arrival at around 8.30am. A number of Najib supporters were also present, holding placards and chanting in a show of solidarity with the former premier.

He was subsequently slapped with three charges of criminal breach of trust and one charge of corruption, all of which he pleaded not guilty to and claimed trial.

The Russians are giving the world a maritime headache. In the High North, their uneasy teamwork with China continues. Moscow and Beijing have recently announced a “joint commission for the development of the Northern Sea Route”. Plenty of analysts, those of RUSI included, believe that this benefits Xi more than Putin, but either way, Russia’s desire to use the High North for grey-zone activities is only going to increase.
