KUALA LUMPUR, Mar 7 — Datuk Seri Najib Razak told the sessions court here today that former federal territories deputy minister Edmund Santhara Kumar should not have travelled to New Zealand when Malaysia was under a movement control order . today reported that the former prime minister — who is a witness in a defamation suit Edmund filed against Batu MP P. Prabakaran — said it was “morally wrong” for Edmund to take a 55-day trip abroad when others in Malaysia could not cross its borders.
When Prabakaran’s lawyer, Dinesh Muthal, asked Najib if an MP could question incidents such as Santhara’s absence, the former PM said that it is not wrong as long it was done in good faith and without personal attacks. It was previously reported that Edmund’s family are permanent residents in the Oceanic country and his children were studying there.
