#KiniNews: Court bins Najib's leave action on house arrest; MP calls for probe on MAHB deal

[KiniNews] 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.

Meanwhile, in a separate story, an opposition MP has urged the National Audit Department to investigate the selling of Malaysia Airlines Holding Berhad (MAHB) shares to Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP).

Speaking in the Dewan Rakyat today, Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal (PN-Machang) pointed out that Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim is Khazanah’s chairperson as well as the finance minister.
