00:06Unnamed sources say the former Prime Minister is expected to pay
00:10the RM50 million fine imposed on him that would make that possible.
00:14The sources say the payment would be made by representatives of the former Pekan MP.

00:24one of Najib's lawyers, Muhammad Farhan Muhammad Shafi,
00:27said the defence has no instructions on the matter thus far.

00:51and cut the fine to RM50 million.

01:20said Najib did not have the money.

01:28and no deadline had been set.
