Sub judice rule shielded Najib from 1MDB, now deflects addendum queries

In March 2016, then parliamentary affairs minister Azalina Othman Said put a blanket ban on questions about Najib Abdul Razak’s RM2.6 billion donation scandal, citing a rule against sub judice discussions.

Almost nine years later, Azalina, as the law minister, is using that same rule to deflect questions about the former premier’s royal addendum on house arrest.
