Earlier, Attorney–General Tommy Thomas made an application for the former prime minister to make a full unconditional apology over his Facebook post regarding his credit card expenditure as it could amount to sub judice. Najib’s lead counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah said he had not been able to obtain instructions from his client and therefore needed time to prepare submissions on the matter.
