Three former Malaysian prime ministers are due to appear at the Kuala Lumpur Court Complex today for separate graft-related cases, in a rare simultaneous legal proceeding.

The Bar Council is mounting a formal appeal against the reduction of former Prime Minister Najib Razak's prison sentence, with hearings set for the coming week amid heightened scrutiny of Malaysia's judicial system.

Malaysia has appointed 17 lawyers and judicial officers as new judicial commissioners, including the daughter of a former Court of Appeal president. The latest round of judicial appointments strengthens the High Court bench.
