PUTRAJAYA: Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak will file an application to set aside the bankruptcy notice served on him following his failure to pay RM1.69 billion in additional income tax arrears to the Inland Revenue Board (IRB).
When met by reporters, lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah said Najib’s legal team would file an application to set aside the bankruptcy notice and stay the bankruptcy proceedings that LHDN sought to initiate.
“We are also asking for a stay against the RM1.69 billion summary judgment order. We will be filing the necessary documents in a couple of days, seeking not only a stay of the bankruptcy notice but also on the amount being sought by the IRB.
