Court rejects Najib's bid to initiate judicial review over house arrest

Former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak failed to get leave to proceed with his judicial review to be allowed to serve the remainder of his jail sentence under house arrest.
The Kuala Lumpur High Court this morning dismissed Najib’s legal action over the existence of an alleged royal supplementary order permitting house arrest.
Judge Amarjeet Singh ruled that all the affidavits claiming the existence of the royal addendum amounted to mere hearsay.
