00:00 The press has been barred from covering the proceedings in Datuk Seri Najib Razak's application
00:07 for leave to initiate judicial review in his claim over a Royal Addendum Order, which would
00:13 allow him to serve his remaining prison term under house arrest.
00:17 At the outset of the proceedings on Wednesday, his lead counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafi Abdullah
00:23 applied to High Court Judge Justice Amarjeet Singh for the case to be conducted in chambers
00:28 due to its sensitive nature.
00:31 The lawyer said all of the documents have been filed, adding that senior federal counsels
00:35 were also receptive of the idea.
00:38 Justice Amarjeet allowed the application and the hearing, then moved to the judges' chambers.
00:43 Muhammad Shafi met the press after attending the in-chamber hearing.
00:47 What are you hoping for in this situation?
00:51 I'm hoping to get a, first to get a leave.
00:55 The endgame is, they disclose the order, then I want to know why you're not enforcing it.
01:00 Why are you in contempt of the Young Lieutenant Order?
01:03 And the client is able to go home?
01:06 If he wins, he can go home for house imprisonment.
01:13 The court fixed June 5 for a decision on whether to grant leave to Najib to proceed with the
01:18 judicial review.
01:19 Thank you.
01:20 Thank you.
01:20 Thank you.
