KINI ROUNDUP | Here are the key headlines you may have missed yesterday, in brief.
Najib put through court 'revolving door'
The prosecution withdrew three additional charges against former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak in relation to the SRC International case.
However, sources close to Najib later revealed that he was served a warrant to be slapped with the charges again today.
Najib is also appealing the decision of the High Court to continue with the trial scheduled to begin next Tuesday on seven other charges related to SRC International.
Marzuki flayed over fake degree
Deputy Foreign Minister Marzuki Yahya was chastised by the likes of Umno acting president Mohamad Hasan and Perlis mufti Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin over his allegedly fake degree.
Bersatu deputy president Mukhriz Mahathir defended Marzuki, saying the latter was not appointed as a deputy minister for his academic credentials.
However, Bersatu strategist Rais Hussin said Marzuki should apologise if he had misrepresented himself.
Other Kinibites
Umno acting president Mohamad Hasan claimed MCA and MIC had been avoiding holding a BN meeting to evade questions from the press about a resolution to dissolve the coalition.
The Malaysian government is eyeing proceeds from the multi-million dollar sale of a stake in the Park Lane Hotel in New York, involving the US Department of Justice, to an Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund.
Looking ahead
Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad will speak at the National Unity Day celebration in Penang.

In news we trust
A media which is sustained by the backing and support of its people is ensured its independence. The prolonged fight for justice with the support of the public has made it possible for Malaysiakini to continue its operations for over 20 years.

Who says it's not our fault?
We aren’t trained to take responsibility.
Everytime we observe an injustice - and choose to keep mum - the prevalence of injustice becomes our fault.
Astute journalism paves the way for the public to be continuously furnished with the fastidious truth. You are continuously empowered to act and to uphold the integrity of the nation.

The Rakyat owns Malaysiakini
We choose to take a risk on independent media because we believe that only through independent reporting can one be NOT beholden to the interest of businesses or organisations. This allows us to really pursue the truth - aggressively.
Malaysiakini.
Independent for 20 years.

Speaking truth to power
When we embarked on this journey 20 years ago, we knew we would face intimidation, harassment, raids, arrests and perhaps even jail terms. We got into this venture with our eyes wide open.
The main reason we have survived this long - when many others have folded - is partly because we are prudent in our finances. But while we may be tightfisted in our budgeting, we do not hold back when it comes to speaking truth to power and holding power to account. And certainly, this new administration will not stop us from continuing to do so.

You make Malaysiakini what it is.
You make Malaysia what it is.
