KUALA LUMPUR: An addendum order for a house arrest was indeed part of Datuk Seri Najib Razak ’s partial pardon, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi says.
He said he was shown the document by former Selangor Umno treasurer Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz at his house at Country Heights on Jan 30. His lead counsel, Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, recently told the court that a crucial witness would sign an affidavit in support of Najib’s application.“The contents of the addendum order expressly stated that the applicant be allowed to serve the reduced sentence of his imprisonment under condition of house arrest, instead of the current confinement in Kajang Prison,” Ahmad Zahid said in his affidavit.
“Thus, I hereby confirm the existence of the addendum order dated Jan 29 issued by the former King,” Ahmad Zahid stated. Earlier, High Court judge Justice Amarjeet Singh, presiding over the matter, allowed a request from Muhammad Shafee to bar the press from covering the hearing of Najib’s application.Senior Federal Counsel Shamsul Bolhassan and Ahmad Hanir Hambaly did not object.Najib filed the application for leave for judicial review through law firm Messrs Shafee & Co on April 1.
