Now, court warns Najib to stop writing about SRC case on Facebook

Attorney-General Tommy Thomas says Najib Razak made comments about his credit card spending on Facebook without advice from his counsel.

Thomas had earlier complained to Nazlan that Najib had scandalised the court by making sub-judice remarks in a Facebook posting. Thomas, in bringing to the attention of Nazlan that Najib had posted comments about his ongoing corruption and criminal breach of trust trial on Facebook, demanded an apology and an undertaking from Najib that he would not repeat it.

The lawyer then accused the media of unfair reporting, especially in refusing to highlight all the defence points raised by Najib in response to the prosecution’s case. Thomas said freedom of speech was not absolute and the accused was doing a balancing act in view of his on-going trial.“The price of being an accused is that he has the last word. He should allow the prosecution’s case to unfold in court,” he added.
