Royal addendum on Najib’s house arrest only hearsay, stresses Saifuddin
(FMT) : The existence of a royal addendum purportedly ordering Najib Razak to serve the rest of his prison sentence under hosue arrest is only hearsay, says home minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.
In the Dewan Rakyat today, Saifuddin pointed to the Kuala Lumpur High Court’s dismissal of the former prime minister’s legal action to affirm the addendum’s existence in July.
He said this in response to questions by several MPs on the matter, including Takiyuddin Hassan (PN-Kota Bharu).
“The court ruled that this addendum is hearsay after the matter was raised by (Najib’s) lawyer. The matter shouldn’t arise anymore,” he said.
“The court said the story (of the addendum) came from one person who heard it from another person who got it from another person. That is hearsay.
“So the matter is done. I do not want to repeat myself any more,” he said.
