KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Razak is considering a contempt action against former attorney general Tan Sri Tommy Thomas over the latter's tell-all book.
The former prime minister's lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah told the press that a contempt application would most probably be filed this week.
"The defamation suit is definite, the contempt application will (most probably) be filed this week.
"We have to give him (Thomas) a show-cause first," he said outside the Kuala Lumpur Court Complex here after the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) trial on Tuesday (Feb 16).
On Feb 2, Najib had earlier sent Thomas a letter of demand (LOD) demanding an apology and RM10mil in damages over allegations against him contained in the book entitled "My Story: Justice in the Wilderness".
