Najib has called for the government to put a stop to the screening of the series due to alleged link to murders, his trial and afraid the timing could effect his case.
His lawyer, Tan Sri Shafee said after watching the movie “Man on the Run” which started showing in Malaysia a few days ago, told the court that the movie contains a lot of false facts and slander based on propaganda that was repeated before the PRU14.
Amongst them is that the film is still linked to Najib to the murders of Kevin Morais and Altantuya even though the whole of Malaysia is aware that Najib was not involved. How can such extremely real slander be repeated in the movie he asked.
That’s why Tan Sri Shafee told the judge about the film which is slanderous and prejudice against Najib’s daughter.
The request by Najib for the Unity Government led by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to stop the airing of the documentary has fallen on deaf ears, as the Communication Minister Fahmi Fadzil has yet to decide while Anwar has said the decision is up to Fahmi.
