The Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) has slammed former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak for initiating contempt proceedings against former attorney-general Terrirudin Salleh.

In a statement, it said the move was an abuse of process and directly in breach of a Kuala Lumpur High Court order to postpone all proceedings related to the royal addendum ordering Najib to serve the remainder of his six-year jail term under house arrest.
