KUALA LUMPUR: When faced with the prosecution in court, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak admitted how difficult it was for him to find a true friend who was willing to accompany him.
In fact, what the former Prime Minister found very disappointing is that many people only show their faces when looking for pleasure and some also make faces.
"But this life is full of lessons. In today's bitter times, there is a drop of sweetness and appreciation," said the former UMNO President in a post on his Facebook account on Wednesday.
Yesterday, he was ordered to defend himself by the High Court on the prosecution of four cases of using his position to bribe almost RM2.3 billion of 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) funds and 21 charges of money laundering related to the same money.
Judge, Datuk Collin Lawrence Sequerah ruled this after finding that the prosecution had successfully proved a prima facie case at the end of the prosecution.
In the same message, the former Pekan Member of Parliament thanked all parties who were willing to attend to wait for the outcome of the case.
"There are so many supporters and ordinary people who remember the services and miss the policies of the previous administration.
"Sincerely. This is what true friends really are. May friendship in this world last, be carried and become capital in the afterlife," said Najib, who is now 71 years old.
