  "account": "Ketua Penerangan Pejuang, Rafique Rashid Ali, has defended Attorney-General Dusuki Mokhtar against accusations of negligence in the documentation of a court case concerning the conditional release of former Prime Minister Najib Razak. Rafique, who is also a lawyer, stated that the court's responsibility lies in providing the necessary documentation for such cases, and it is not the AGC's role to provide explanations for any discrepancies. He criticized certain attorneys and former legal government officials for their remarks about the structure of Najib's court order, claiming they lack understanding of the court's procedural workings. The controversy began when Najib explained a RM50 million fine on November 6, leading to the issuance of a court order for his conditional release, which also extended his prison sentence for the SRC International case until August 23, 2028. Rafique highlighted that the court is responsible for providing the necessary documentation regarding detention, release, fines, and passport return. He urged the court's lawyer to clarify any inaccuracies in the court order. Rafique noted that this situation differs from civil cases, where the lawyer for the winning party typically drafts the court order and hands it over to the opposing party for confirmation before submitting it to the court. He also criticized some attorneys and former legal government officials for their remarks on the court order's structure, suggesting they lack familiarity with the workings of the criminal court.",
