TENGKU Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz will seek to file an affidavit to correct "factual errors" in another affidavit, which claimed that the former King had in an addendum order allowed Datuk Seri Najib Razak to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest.
In a statement today, he said this was to “correct certain factual errors” in Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s affidavit supporting Najib’s application to compel the government to produce the purported order.
This was after Tengku Zafrul sighted a supplementary affidavit by Zahid regarding Najib's application.
“I will obtain appropriate legal advice and seek to write to the High Court to ask for permission or leave to file an affidavit to correct certain factual errors contained in the affidavit in question.
“I take no position in so far as the merits of the ongoing dispute is concerned but I merely wish to ensure that the factual record is properly reflected and recorded so that all parties and in particular the High Court is properly apprised of all material facts.
“This will ultimately allow for a just and fair decision to be made in the interest of all parties concerned,” said the investment, trade and industry minister.
Earlier today, Zahid, in a affidavit, claimed he had sighted an addendum order from the former Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, allowing Najib to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest.
Zahid had claimed that the document was shown to him by Tengku Zafrul at his house near Country Heights on Jan 30.
He said Tengku Zafrul showed him a copy of the addendum order on his phone which he personally photographed or scanned from an original copy as shown to him by the former King. – The Vibes, April 17, 2024.
