Court allows Najib to attend appeal proceedings in suit v Tommy Thomas | The Malaysian Insight

Najib Razak, who is serving a 12-year jail term for corruption, is allowed to attend court on July 11, 2023 to follow the appeal proceedings pertaining to his lawsuit against former attorney-general Tommy Thomas for alleged misfeasance in public office. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, July 10, 2023.

Najib’s lawyer Firoz Hussein Ahmad Jamaluddin told the court the former prime minister’s presence in court was essential to enable his counsel to get appropriate instructions from Najib on the appeal. Najib claimed it was not appropriate to appoint Alan Adrian Gomez and Lai Wei Shiung to represent Thomas as they were from the same firm as the former attorney-general.
