KUALA LUMPUR: The Prisons Department has rejected former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s request to attend Dewan Rakyat sittings, says his lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah.
Muhammad Shafee, who met with reporters after the 1Malaysia Development Bhd trial here on Monday (Oct 3), said that Najib's request to attend was turned down by the department on "security grounds".
