Najib’s application to initiate contempt proceedings against ex-AG Terrirudin dismissed

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 4 — The High Court here today dismissed former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s application for leave to initiate committal proceedings against former Attorney-General (AG) Tan Sri Ahmad Terrirudin Mohd Salleh for alleged contempt of court.

Judge Alice Loke Yee Ching decided the matter after ruling that the applicant (Najib) had failed to prove a prima facie case for contempt.

On May 21 this year, Najib filed the application seeking the court’s permission to commence contempt proceedings against Terrirudin, who is now a Federal Court judge, over the alleged additional document that purportedly allows him to serve his jail sentence under house arrest.
