Media barred from covering Najib’s judicial review bid related to house arrest


KUALA LUMPUR: The press has been barred from covering the proceedings in Datuk Seri Najib Razak's application for leave to initiate judicial review in his claim over a royal addendum order which would allow him to serve his remaining prison term under house arrest.

At the outset of the proceedings here on Wednesday (April 17), his lead counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah applied to High Court judge Justice Amarjeet Singh for the case to be conducted in chambers due to its sensitive nature.
