The money laundering trial of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak was adjourned from its morning session due to a bomb threat at the Jalan Duta court in Kuala Lumpur.
Justice Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali at first informed the court that he had received information from Deputy Registrar Mahyudin Mohmad Som that there had been a bomb threat.
Nazlan then asked for proceedings to be postponed and asked for the courtroom to be vacated.
After the threat was received at 12.30pm, authorities ordered an immediate clear-out of the complex, with evacuees assembled at the main entrance.
It was reported that Sentul district police received a call of the possibility of a bomb placed in the courthouse and the police are currently at the scene.
