Najib is raging against the light before going gently into the night. Looking at the way that Najib is defending himself in the ongoing 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) trial, where over RM2 billion of the govt-owned company’s money allegedly entered his private AmIslamic bank accounts, it makes you wonder why Najib is even bothering to get himself released from prison via his Addendum claims.
Even if addendum exists, it is only going to give him relief from his previous convictions.

Even if Najib gains relief from his prior convictions, from the way that his current case is going, I doubt it would matter by much at all, because even from a layman point of view, Najib’s explanation and defence of himself in his 1MDB trial is so utterly atrocious, that if I didn’t know better, I would even have accused him of trying to sabotage his own case. 

So far, Najib has said that although he received hundreds and millions from people that he didn’t know, and although he never gave his bank account number to any one of them, or even know them in the first place, he never once bothered to ask them why they are giving him these millions or billions or how did they find out about his bank account number. He also claims that he had simply assumed that the billions must have come from the late King of Saudi Arabia, King Abdullah, although he never once sent a thank you note to the king for giving him such an outlandish gift.

While previously, he had claimed under oath that he had never set foot on the 1MDB office, when shown a picture of him in the 1MDB office, he conveniently recanted his claim. In the latest episode of his trial, he is now saying that he used RM 2.3 million from the billions he received in his bank account to pay his speechmakers and social media management team, because he “did not want to burden the govt.”

M"sia govt has filed application for a gag order over former PM Najib Abdul Razak's house arrest judicial review linked to an alleged royal addendum.
Najib's counsel Muhammad Farhan Muhammad Shafee confirmed with Malaysiakini that Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) filed an application at the Kuala Lumpur High Court at around 7.45 tonight (yesterday night).
