Najib withdraws appeal over legal challenge to attend parliament
Former PM Najib Razak withdraws appeal o the Court of Appeal for leave to commence a legal challenge over the Prisons Department’s refusal to allow his request to attend parliament. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, July 28, 2023.
The notice of discontinuance of the appeal was filed last July 12 by Messrs Shafee & Co, the legal firm representing Najib. On October 27 last year, the High Court in Kuala Lumpur dismissed the former prime minister’s application to obtain leave to commence a judicial review to challenge the Prisons Department’s refusal to allow his request to attend parliament.
The High Court judge also said unless and until pardon is given or Najib’s conviction is quashed upon review, there is no possibility he will again be a lawmaker, adding that the law prohibits any convicted person to contest for election.
