KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here has dismissed committal proceedings brought by the Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC) against former Umno information chief Isham Jalil (pic) for public statements about Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) cases.
In delivering his decision on Tuesday (July 8), Justice K. Muniandy held that the statements made by Isham, whose full name is Hizatul Isham Abdul Jalil, did not give rise to a real risk of undermining public confidence in the judiciary, and thus did not meet the legal threshold for contempt of court.
