PETALING JAYA: Former Federal Court judge Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram has declined to comment on the controversial allegation by former attorney general Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali that Sri Ram tried to convince him to arrest then Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak in 2018.
According to Apandi, in January 2018, Sri Ram, along with another young lawyer, visited him at home on the pretext of wanting his help on a certain matter.
"He wants you to arrest Najib at his office, you go tomorrow at 2pm, we have arranged for the police in Putrajaya to do what is necessary on your instructions. He claimed that he then questioned Sri Ram on what grounds Najib was supposed to be arrested, to which Sri Ram allegedly replied:"Brother, people out there are frustrated and unhappy, the fact that you arrest him, never mind the reason, will make people happy."
He also claimed to have proof of the meeting in the form of CCTV recording at his house, as well as eyewitnesses in his bodyguards and police personnel manning his guardhouse at the time.
