[KiniNews] Prime Minister Anwar has recalled his own time in prison to defend the eased jail conditions for former premier Najib Abdul Razak who has been found guilty of corruption in the RM42 million SRC International case.
Speaking to UK-based Financial Times while on an official visit to London, Anwar reportedly said he does not wish for Najib to suffer in prison like he did.
Meanwhile, in a separate story, the government has filed an application for a gag order over Najib's house arrest judicial review linked to an alleged royal addendum.
Najib's counsel Muhammad Farhan Muhammad Shafee confirmed with Malaysiakini that the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) filed the application at the Kuala Lumpur High Court at around 7.45 last night.
