High Court tosses out Najib's bid to serve sentence under house arrest

KUALA LUMPUR (July 3): The High Court on Wednesday dismissed former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's bid to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest.

All the affidavits filed — two by Najib, one by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Pahang Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail — are mere hearsay, judge Datuk Amarjeet Singh Serjit Singh said.

The Pardons Board was represented by senior federal counsels Shamsul Bolhassan and Ahmad Hanir Hambaly @ Arwi.

Najib was represented by Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, who has indicated he has received instructions to appeal.
