Tengku Zafrul says will seek to ‘correct errors’ in Zahid’s affidavit backing Najib’s bid for house arrest orderYesterday, the media were barred from proceedings of Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s legal bid to compel the federal government and the Pardons Board to produce a purported ‘supplementary order’ from the previous Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

“Barring the media and the flow of unbiased information on this case, effectively prevents the public from monitoring the outcome of a corruption case that rocked the nation and to hold all those accountable to the rule of law and for justice to prevail.CIJ asserted that by preventing the media from reporting on issues pertaining to political expediency erodes public confidence in the judiciary.

“We urge the judiciary to reconsider the decision and keep the hearing public. All media must have full and meaningful access and keep the public informed accordingly.
