Najib's lawyers: Why is A-G 'moving goalposts' over house arrest issue? [WATCH]
KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s lawyer has accused the attorney-general of “moving the goalposts” over his client’s house arrest documents, as questions over when the former prime minister will be transferred out of Kajang Prison persist.
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.
