Lokman Adam says sorry, escapes jail time in contempt of court case


PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Lokman Noor Adam escaped prison time after the Federal Court here set aside his one-month jail sentence and substituted it with a good behaviour bond for contempt of court in connection with Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) case.

On Monday (July 1), a three-judge panel chaired by Justice P. Nallini allowed Lokman’s appeal to set aside his prison sentence after the Umno supreme council member made an apology in open court.
