KUALA LUMPUR: Go and find out yourself - these were the words of Datuk Seri Najib Razak's lead counsel Tan Sri Shafee Abdullah when asked about the former premier's wellbeing.
Shafee, who seemed to have been annoyed at being surrounded by the media upon returning to the Kuala Lumpur court after his lunch break, also refused to give any comment, fearing that his words would be twisted.
