00:00Former Attorney General Tanshri Ahmad Dariruddin Mohammed Saleh has kept mum on the Royal Addendum
00:10Order issue related to Datuk Seri Najib Razak's house arrest.
00:14At the opening of the legal year 2025 in Putrajaya on Wednesday, Ahmad Dariruddin, who is now
00:21a federal court judge, escaped a group of journalists who sought his comments on a letter
00:26from the Royal Palace.
00:27The letter was purportedly addressed to him in his capacity as the AG stating an addendum
00:33order that would allow Najib to spend the remainder of his prison sentence imposed in
00:38the SRC International case under house arrest.
00:42Ahmad Dariruddin served as the 12th AG from September 6, 2023 to November 11 last year.
00:50When met separately by the press at the same event, Dariruddin's successor, Attorney General
00:55Datuk Mohammed Dusuki Mokhtar, also declined to respond.
01:00On Monday, the Court of Appeal allowed Najib's appeal for leave to initiate judicial review
01:06over the existence of the Royal Addendum.
01:09The case is remitted back to the High Court for a substantive hearing.
