00:00The hearing of Najib Razak's appeal to reinstate a lawsuit brought against former Attorney
00:06General Tommy Thomas for misfeasance in public office was postponed for the second time after
00:12an appellate judge recused herself.
00:15Justice Faiza Jamaluddin said her husband, Faiz Azmi, was involved in the recovery of
00:191MDB assets.
00:21Faiza disqualified herself on her own volition in the interest of justice.
00:26Faiza also said she knew both Najib's and Thomas' lawyers as they had all worked for
00:31Thomas in the 1990s.
00:34Previously, Justice Aziza Nawawi recused herself after revealing that her husband served directly
00:39under Thomas when he was the Attorney General.
00:42Meanwhile, High Court Judge Justice Leong Wai Hong, who was assigned to hear a US$346
00:47million lawsuit brought by plaintiffs 1MDB, SRC International, Sundian Berhad and nine
00:53other companies against Rosmah Mansour, has recused himself from the case.
00:58Leong made the ruling after Rosmah applied for his recusal due to his links to law firm
01:03Screen which is acting in a suit against Najib.
