Najib's lawyers: Why is A-G 'moving goalposts' over house arrest issue? [WATCH]

Datuk Seri Najib Razak's lawyer has accused the Attorney-General of moving the goalposts over Najib's house arrest documents, causing confusion over when the former prime minister will be transferred out of Kajang Prison. The Attorney-General's Chambers (A-GC) initially flagged glaring errors in the official judicial documents relating to the implementation of Najib's house arrest, particularly in their terminology and legal provisions.

However, the A-GC later stated there were two possible interpretations regarding the legal effect of the court's Order of Discharge. Now, the A-G has claimed that the court order itself contains obvious errors, further complicating the situation.
