In the Dewan Rakyat today, Saifuddin pointed to the Kuala Lumpur High Court’s dismissal of the former prime minister’s legal action to affirm the addendum’s existence in July.

He said this in response to questions by several MPs on the matter, including Takiyuddin Hassan (PN-Kota Bharu).

“The court ruled that this addendum is hearsay after the matter was raised by (Najib’s) lawyer. The matter shouldn’t arise anymore,” he said.

“The court said the story (of the addendum) came from one person who heard it from another person who got it from another person. That is hearsay.

“So the matter is settled. I do not want to repeat myself any more,” he said.

Najib, who was found guilty of misappropriating RM42 million in funds belonging to 1MDB subsidiary SRC International, is currently serving his sentence in Kajang prison.

Earlier this year, the Federal Territories Pardons Board halved Najib’s prison sentence in his SRC case from 12 years to six and reduced his fine from RM210 million to RM50 million.

In a leave application filed in April, Najib claimed that the 16th Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Al-Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah, had issued a supplementary decree during a FTPB meeting on Jan 29 which purportedly allowed Najib to serve the rest of his prison sentence under house arrest.

Najib alleged the supplementary decree was not announced by the board on Feb 2, and that the government was in contempt for not executing it.

However, an application for leave to commence judicial review which Najib filed in an attempt to enforce the purported supplementary order was rejected by the Kuala Lumpur High Court in July.

The Court of Appeal has fixed Dec 5 to hear Najib’s appeal.
