SRC International is a former subsidiary of 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) and is now placed under the Minister of Finance Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The courts complex has been placed under a heavy police cordon, with a police Light Strike Force unit and a K9 unit deployed at the main gate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A group of people, believed to Najib’s supporters, had gathered at the main gate but they were not allowed into the complex as the police were only allowing in people who had a special pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reporters from the local and international media, who had gathered at the main entrance as early as 6 am, were only allowed into the courts complex at 8.45 am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ten reporters, one from each selected media organization, were given passes to be in the courtroom while passes had been issued to 40 other newsmen to follow the proceedings via a video link in another room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
