However, Najib’s lawyer, Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, argued that there was no concrete evidence showing Najib issued such orders. Nur Aida cited examples like replacing the MACC Chief Commissioner, arresting MACC officers, and former Attorney General Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali closing the case despite recommendations for further action.
