Former prime minister Najib Razak’s preliminary objection to the Attorney-General’s Chambers ( AGC ) application for leave to appeal against his house arrest request was dismissed by Malaysia’s Federal Court on Monday ( Mar 24 ).  ,
After receiving proposals from Attorney-General Dusuki Mokhtar and Najib’s attorney Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, the three-judge board, which was led by Chief Judge of Malaya Justice Hasnah Mohammed Hahsim, overwhelmingly made the decision.
Dusuki appeared at the Federal Court on Monday in a unique individual capacity alongside senior national counsel Shamsul Bolhasan and Ahmad Hanir Hambaly, according to Malay Mail’s local news channel.
Najib, who is currently serving a reduced six-year prison sentence for corruption in connection with the 1Malaysia Development Berhad ( 1MDB) scandal, was also present at the court hearing on Monday.  ,  ,
The AGC’s request to charm a past Court of Appeal’s decision on January 6 is the subject of the reading chaired by Hasnah along with Federal Court judges Zabairah Mohd Yusof and Hanipah Farikullah.  ,
The top prosecutor has set for April 28 the day before which it will make its decision regarding the AGC’s request to prevent Najib’s attempt to request a judicial review of a alleged royal addendum order for his house arrest.  ,
Hasnah’s statement, which The Star quoted as saying,” We will not be making a decision on Monday.”  ,
Najib was found guilty in 2020 of legal breach of trust and abuse of power for receiving money that 1MDB had illegally snatched up from a system of state investment.  ,
Before Malaysia’s past prince Sultan AbdullahRi’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, reduced Najib’s jail time and good to RM50 million as one of his final official duties before stepping down on January 30th, last year, he was sentenced to 12 years in jail and fined US$ 47.4 million.
Najib filed for judicial evaluation of his statement a little over two months later, alleging that Sultan Abdullah’s order to serve the majority of his lowered word while he was still on house arrest was contained an addendum order issued at the Pardons Board’s Jan. 29, 2024 meeting.  ,
Najib’s app was turned down by the High Court in July, but on January 6, the Court of Appeal reversed it and said the High Court must hear the case.
The AGC’s charm then became the result.
