Keeping mum is the best option

FOLLOWING the grant of leave from the Court of Appeal in a split 2-1 decision on Monday, former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s application for judicial review has now proceeded to the substantive stage. This is where the full merit of the case for judicial review gets ventilated and decided by the High Court.

Meanwhile, the current Attorney General and his predecessor have kept mum on the issue of a royal addendum order relating to the former prime minister’s house arrest, “AGs keep mum on Najib’s royal addendum” (The Star, Jan 9).
