flag Malaysia's court blocks gag order on Najib's bid for house arrest, citing overreach and existing laws.

flag The Malaysian High Court has rejected the government's request for a gag order regarding former Prime Minister Najib Razak's judicial review application seeking confirmation of a royal addendum that could allow him to serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest. flag Justice Alice Loke ruled the proposed gag order was too broad and failed to meet legal thresholds, stating existing laws can address potential defamation or contempt. flag The court also dismissed Najib's attempt to amend his application with new allegations, citing prejudice to respondents. flag Najib, serving time at Kajang Prison after being convicted of misappropriating RM42 million from SRC International, awaits a November 24 hearing on the matter.
