The Kuala Lumpur High Court will decide on former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak’s judicial review application involving his house arrest bid on Jan 5 next year.

Judge Alice Loke Yee Ching fixed the date at the end of today’s proceeding, after hearing submissions from Najib’s counsel Shafee Abdullah and senior federal counsel Shamsul Bolhassan, who appeared for the respondents - the government and the attorney-general.
