AGC defends ex-AG against contempt allegations


PETALING JAYA: Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s application to initiate contempt of court proceedings against former attorney general Tan Sri Ahmad Terrirudin Mohd Salleh is in breach of an existing court order, says the Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC).

The AGC stated that on April 28, the High Court had granted a stay of all proceedings in the former prime minister’s bid to enforce a royal addendum allowing him to serve the remainder of his current jail sentence under house arrest.
