Pengakuan Pejabat Peguam Negara selepas 527 hari bahawa wujudnya Adendum Diraja – yang membenarkan bekas Perdana Menteri Najib Razak menjalani baki hukuman penjaranya di bawah tahanan rumah – telah mencetuskan kemarahan ramai. Peguam-peguam kanan memberi amaran bahawa isu ini boleh menjadi liabiliti besar kepada kerajaan Madani, menimbulkan persepsi bahawa mereka cuba menyembunyikan sesuatu.
The Attorney General’s belated admission after 527 days that a Royal Addendum exists – decreeing former Prime Minister Najib Razak should serve his sentence under house arrest – has sparked outrage, with senior lawyers warning that this debacle is a ticking time bomb for the Madani government, creating the impression it has something to hide.

Former Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak's family, the three children in Umno in particular, may take the cue from suspended and retired Judge Hamid Sultan Abu Backer on ending his arbitrary detention!
It's open secret for Yana Najib that the narrative on the 1MDB phenomenon could have been better handled by former Prime Minister Najib Razak and/or media team as Trial by Media took centre stage and threatened him and beleaguered family from all sides!
The Najib income tax case in the court of law, initiated by Mahathir ventilating ignorance, was also tainted by procedural unfairness and non-compliance with the Specific Relief Act 1950, among others!
UN Review, silent on 'arbitrary detention' for diplomatic reasons, finds no closure on Najib's RM42m SRC International case!
