Apex court rejects Najib’s bid to block AG’s appeal


PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court has dismissed a preliminary objection by Datuk Seri Najib Razak against the Attorney General’s (AG) appeal relating to the existence of an additional document allegedly permitting the former prime minister to serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest.

A three-member bench, chaired by Chief Judge of Malaya Justice Hasnah Mohammed Hashim, in a unanimous decision, said that the seven questions of law proposed by the AG are justiciable and can be reviewed by the court.
