00:00 Former Prime Minister Datuk Srinajib Razak has officially written to the Communications
00:07 Ministry to take action against the airing of documentary "Men on the Run" on Netflix.
00:14 In a letter issued by Meshers Shafi and Co, Najib's defence team said the statements by
00:19 several individuals in the documentary, including former Attorney-General Tan Sri Tommy Thomas
00:26 and Sarawak Report editor Claire Ryukasso-Brown, were in contempt of court as Najib's One Malaysia
00:33 Development Berhad corruption trial was still ongoing at the High Court.
00:38 The letter, dated 11 January, was addressed to Communications Minister Fahmy Fazil, Malaysian
00:44 Communications and Multimedia Commission Chairman Tan Sri Mohamad Salim Fateh Din and MCMC Chief
00:50 Compliance Officer Datuk Zulkanain Mohamad Yassin.
00:55 Najib's lawyers claimed the statements were defamatory and biased and they were never
00:59 proven in court of law, hence urging the Communications Ministry to take down the documentary and
01:05 restrain the platform for further airing it.
01:09 On 8 January, Najib's lead counsel Tan Sri Mohamad Shafi Abdullah made his complaint about
01:14 the documentary to High Court Judge Justin Scottie Lawrence-Akwera during the 1MDB trial.
01:21 The show was first aired in cinemas in Singapore and was released on Netflix on 5 January.
