00:00There is not a single person or government institution that denies the existence of this addendum.
00:11Not one of them.
00:13If that thing doesn't exist, you can't say it.
00:15Say that this thing doesn't exist. Don't waste time.
00:17Najib Razak's lawyer, Shafi Abdullah, has challenged the government to openly deny the existence of the supplementary decree
00:25purportedly issued by the former Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
00:29The decree allegedly permits the former Prime Minister to serve the remainder of his prison term under house arrest.
00:36Earlier today, Kuala Lumpur High Court dismissed Najib's application to compel the government to produce the decree.
00:43Shafi then said Najib intends to appeal the High Court ruling and is also considering bringing a writ action.
00:50I sent five letters to all those who are concerned.
00:54The Attorney General, Lembaga Pengampunan, the Minister of Law in charge of Lembaga Pengampunan, Federal Territory Minister.
01:02I have sent CCs to the Prime Minister, to the Deputy Prime Minister.
01:07The lawyer said that, according to evidence law, the government's silence may be taken as an adverse reason.
01:14Shafi added that the government would be compelled to confirm the existence of the addendum if it responded.
01:21He went on to say the government is playing deaf and mute, hide and seek,
01:26adding that one day it will surface and it will come out in the most ugly fashion.
