00:00The KL High Court heard on Tuesday that former Attorney General Tanshri Ahmad Teriruddin Muhammad Saleh had custody or access to the addendum order that would purportedly allow Datuk Seri Najib Razak to serve the remainder of his prison term under house arrest, but chose to suppress it.
00:17Najib's lead counsel Tanshri Muhammad Shafi Abdullah said Ahmad Teriruddin, now a federal court judge, had misled the court and failed in his duty of candor when he instructed his senior federal counsels, SFCs, to argue in court that no such document existed.
00:34The SFCs had objected to Najib's leave application to commence judicial review over the addendum order, saying that the order was speculative and hearsay.
00:42Muhammad Shafi was submitting in a leave application filed by Najib to cite Ahmad Teriruddin for contempt of court for suppressing the addendum order.
00:50The court was also apprised of the concession by current Attorney General Tanshri Muhammad Dusuki Mokhtar, before the federal court, on the existence of the addendum order.
01:00SFC Shamsul Bolhasan, in his reply, said the leave application was baseless and an abuse of court process.
01:06He also said that the contention that the AG bears the duty of candor at the leave stage was wholly misplaced.
01:13Justice Alice Loke then fixed September 4th for the decision.
