Outside, a crowd of supporters, some wearing shirts and headbands with his name and picture, gather to await the court verdict on Najib’s appeal.

A group of women wearing headbands that read ‘Bebas Bossku’ or ‘Free Bossku’ – the moniker that became part of his image makeover after his fall from power in 2018 – sit on the steps outside the court complex.

Some have come from as far as Terengganu and Kedah to show their support for the former prime minister who was convicted last year of criminal breach of trust, money laundering and abuse of power.
